Hi Jim , for Chevrolet there never was a white rim on a 10-20 or 30 series, white rims are GMC only. On a solid white or off white truck the rim was black whether it was a custom or not. Also should mention here that white custom trim trucks only had white between the custom side door and bed trim , you see lots of black and red painted inserts on them but this is NOT factory. Two tone trucks got the main body color painted rims. While one color or solid color trucks received black rims on Chevys.

GMC was completely different. For 1960-1961 There were three colors for the rims ,Crystal Green, Strata Blue and Olympic white , this all had to do with the main body color as to which wheel color you got.For 1962-1966 Im 90% sure GMC rims were white but for some reason I have seen a couple with black rims that I cannot verify. Still need a 1962 and 1966 GMC Data book to confirm some of the GMC facts.

Hello, I am doing a stock restoration of a '60 C10 and I don't know what to do with this steering column joint. There is a lot of old grease in there, there is no grease fitting, the boot is caved in, please see pictures. Any ideas?

OEM UNUSED/UNMOUNTED tailgate for GMC. A friend send me these pictures of a NEVER used or Mounted tail gate. Note the GRAY chain covers, this is how the gate came from the factory. The owner removed the gate to mount a camper and put the gate on the wall of the garage.

I've seen clear chain covers and Black chain covers, but never saw grey, one more thing to put on the list, I wonder IF Chevy did the same?.

The gray ribbed covers is all they ever used from the factory on a 60-66 Chevy AND GMC Fleetside, Clear is aftermarket and black , if not ribbed, is also aftermarket. Black ribbed is for Stepside

While restoring my 60 C10 as original as possible, I will paint it white because that is the paint code on the plate. It looks like somebody (dealership?) painted it Brigade Blue and did a thorough job.

My question is, on the white ones from the factory, was the Chevrolet lettering on the tailgate painted black or left white? Thanks!
