Re: Factory Wheel Color on Back Side
All the wheels were painted black. When the truck was painted 2 tone the wheels were painted body color on front side only leaving backside black.

Re: Factory Wheel Color on Back Side
The original wheels on my 1960 GMC were white all over - front and back, with heavy white overspray where the tire mounted. Perhaps GMC's were different, or the color changed after a certain year.

Re: Factory Wheel Color on Back Side
These are from the squarebody era (Flint Assembly) but picture 12 shows wheels being painted.
Black on the back; color on the front only (no masking). http://www.73-87.com/7387info/Assembly%20Line.htm K
