The S-IC stage appeared to be in really good shape; I'm assuming that some sort
of restoration had been performed on it recently. The paint was fresh-looking
and the detailing was impeccable.
I have a nice reference
diagram for the S-IC; NASA Images has a
similar diagram. I also have an interesting time-lapse photo of an S-IC
stage's assembly and a proposal to modify
the Saturn V S-IC stage into an "S-ID stage," which would be
stage-and-a-half to orbit booster somewhat reminiscent of an Atlas.
