I thought about selling it as is right now, but all my friends and family think I should finish it.

Perhaps an original color bed liner could be used on both?

Originally the underside of the body parts was body color or gray, depending on whether it was a soft top or hard top - in your case body color. Undercoating was not used from the factory on the 60 series Patrols. Datsun did use body color undercoat on the underside of other early Datsun models though. I think that would be cool to use on a Patrol. Maybe use that as the bed liner also? Just my .02. :twocents-mytwocents:
Beyond any hope for intervention

Yes, it can be used for both. It is a epoxy with Kevlar bed liner product, would make sense to spray the under side as well....would this affect the value?
