GMC front end details - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The standard factory paint treatment on '62 thru '66 GMC hoods was to paint the center section between scoop openings black. This would give the effect of one long continuios hood scoop, as this '63 photo shows.Most all repainted GMC's lose this detail. Like they say "the devil is in the details".This '63 also has black paint behind the grill, similar to the way Chevy blacked out this area. I believe the blacked out grill area was an "East Coast" assembly plant detail on '60 thru '63 GMC's.
