First thing I did when I got my '59 was to put in seat belts. Good luck! _________________ 1959 Single Cab “Otto”

No, and it doesn't say that in eBay ad.
The BAT guys confused things by sort of implying that in their text:

Of course the dealer or factory would do anything you want if you paid for it but I'm 100% sure that is a hack by a previous owner. _________________ How to Post Photos

bah not unfortunately it is not original paint. This is the right color but I was forced to completely repaint the exterior
when I bought it, the bodywork was redone and the primer had been applied since 2000.
we had everything sanded, repaired some corrosion points. re coatings, paint and finally lightly sand the paint to give it a look in accordance with its age |

I finally got the drivers side buffed out (as promised back on page eight) and got the rear bumper blade end straightened out too!
