Did you want custom paint jobs?The factory two-toned in two levels:Top accent color or top and below beltline moulding.

I believe that was Chevy's [1968] Fiftieth Anniversary Special Edition. Gold/White, but there may have been more proprietary names for the special paint scheme.
Not having one, I can't say.
So, Yes, factory original.

Yup, its a 50th. The proprietary names are: Ivory/Gold

As shown on the SPID of this truck:

The paint in post 44 looks better than the factory Gold, to me. Being freshly painted and looks like clear coat, that paint might look different from the factory paint, just a thought...

Looks like this answers the question of if the front grill area gets painted other then body color WITHOUT having the chrome trim going around the nose.

I had been wondering if my '68 paint was factory done. Looks like if you got painted bumpers, you got a silver nose and if you got chrome bumpers and nose trim, you got white paint.

Sure wish mine had the trim.

Here's a '67 that is a one-owner that belongs to a guy I work with.

Is that the original paint?

C/10 King · 06-02-2009, 12:27 AM

How about a few more.

Here's a pic of my 68. I guess my bumper could have been changed, but the rest of the truck is original to the best of my knowledge. So who knows?

Sorry for the thread hijack!

vgate71 · 06-01-2009, 06:23 PM

Back on topic! Here's one I found on my hard drive.
