Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
I really enjoy seeing these nostalgic brochures and seeing just how much detail they put in these trucks. Sub'd, Thank you!

Thanks F66! So, under hood is black. Can anyone with original paint tell me whether inside the front fenders, rear fenders, and underside of cab is body color or black?

Well if I had the sense to post the thread I was talking about I'd be in better shape. I was supposed to post this link: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=455059
Pretty informative as to factory assembly. |

Thanks for the additional info on your 66 Frank.
Rocknrod, thanks for the link. I went all the way through it. Incredible pictures!! I still haven't found answers to my 1960 paint questions. I know some folks on this forum have original 1960's. |

Saw this on Shorpy today, I'll embed the picture and the link to it.
This truck looks like a Brand new truck, but I don't know this generation well enough to confirm whether it's a 65, 66, or 67...??? http://www.shorpy.com/node/23777 http://www.shorpy.com/files/images/s...uatic_park.jpg |

A couple pics of mine, it is probably 98% correct, better than factory.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
LT1 Burb, thank you for posting the pictures of your truck. It is what I am shooting for with mine. A couple of questions. What year is it? What engine is that and what color?
The original color on my '60 283 is black, unfortunately. I think Chevy orange would look a lot better with the black all around and the original white exterior, but I am trying to keep it correct. So far, the only thing that won't be correct on mine when I finish is the dual exhaust. |

I have since gotten rid of those repop hubcaps and put NOS correct 65 ones on it. |

I personally despise repop hubcaps because I can spot them from a 100 yards away, so to me , paying 800 for a set is worth it.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Anybody have a factory paint chart for a 66 C50?
|
Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
The stock color of the 283 engine in my 60 C10 is black (unfortunately). Is there a color code for it?
Does anyone know if it is a flat, semi-gloss, or gloss sheen? Also, any suggestions or opinions on brand and type of paint to use to paint this completely rebuilt engine are welcome!! |
