Not necessarily, he prolly used a spray gun to paint the rest of the truck, but will need an air brush to paint that hole.

BWF, NICE truck, love the color combo. Looks similar to my 2007 H-D (see signature pic).

No gaskets around for the toolbox...Ive been hunting for years...I would take a cross section of the original and see what the 67-72 box or 73-9 box gasket looks like...if you need parts for the box itself, let me know...as for removing the rubber...if you havent already...get a GOOD fitting phillips for those screws to undo the weatherstrip retainers top and bottom.
What kind of primer did you use on it??? it being galvanized I would think would require a special primer. As for the screws...again...a good fitting #3 phillips will do it...I use a bit that fits in a small socket and use a ratchet to get them out...does your bed have the doubler on the bottom that the toolbox screws into ?? If you can, shoot me a pic...
Also, if you want specs for the welting on it, let me know...I just seperated another box from the bedside remains and took a ton of pics.

Keep me posted on the parts you are gonna be parting with when you can.
