Do you think this could have been a dealer add on, kinda like the rear bumpers. Reason I ask is I had a older local gentleman tell me he "Thought" that dealerships would paint the red/black strip between the trim to break up the white. I know its hard to what if things because you could literally what if everything |

I am painting the dash on my 62 Custom C10 and would like to paint the glove box door inset the correct dark gray color. Does anyone know of a rattle can color/brand that comes close? Should this be satin or gloss or ?? Thanks for your help.
And thanks to 60-66 for the reference picture! Bob |

1963 frame off restored back original down to the correct bolts, screws, paint and engine, video is on youtube. This should help if you want to see original. (The oak in the bed instead of pine and an passenger sun visor are the only things not original)

Beautiful truck!
Did you leave that one item non factory for personal taste or to test the purists? |

I'm wondering if anybody would have a picture with the dimensions of the cab from factory. I'm concerned my cab may have moved a little bit when I was taking the floor apart. thanks

How many are aware of a date code stamped in the bed wood. Mine is a 66 SWB and has a date code stamp. Just throwing it out there.

Hey guys, I've got a primer paint question:
I know the bed and front sheet metal got black primer, cap and doors got red oxide primer. What color primer did the cowl covers and cowl vent get? Also, and this is pretty important to me for my build, what color primer did the '60-62 grille, headlight doors and bumpers get? |

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Thanks BHAP and 60-66! My 61 has a darker gray colored dash and the glovebox has gray too. This is factory colors and I want to eventually paint the dash. I think I have found the correct color and will send a post after I test it on some other metal to see if its a match. Appreciate ya’ll!
