GMC Letters-What Colour? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Legolas894 · 05-10-2009, 05:54 PM

Here's a picture of my 1967GMC C10. What colour are the letters supposed to be? Am I missing the actual letters or was it left like this? The truck is blue. Most modern GMCs have the letters painted an orange/red colour.

Thanks!

Black if you want original.My`67 will have red accents,so I`ll do red(at least I think that`s the plan).
It`s nice to see a Canadian`67 here.

Thats the first time in a long time I've seen someone spell colour the correct way.

yotaforce · 05-10-2009, 09:20 PM

"COLOR" if you are American, "COLOUR" if you are French. I don't see why it's important considering the rust in that photo.

I have a '67 with the same grill except it is all black with the GMC letters stamped in the center and have always wondered what colour they were originally. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I will paint the letters black. Thanks to our neighbours from the south for their spelling advice!

Just remember, if you're going to speak English, I guess you should spell the way the English do?

French,Canadian,Australian,British...

Please explain,what do you mean by saying the spelling isn`t important considering the rust in the photo?If you were changing the subject you should have said so...in American.

That's what I was thinking. Black or the body colour. I'd like to do the bumper white and maybe the grille.

Whatever "colour" you choose my fellow canuck will be great, always go off whats gonna look best to you, that being said I've seen a couple with the white bumper an grill, I'm not a big fan, here's what I plan on doing to mine just in blue(what tone I'm not sure yet)

69GMCLonghorn · 05-15-2009, 01:53 PM

That is a sweet look, but personally I prefer the chrome/polished look better. Hard to say a truck like that looks bad though.

Legolas894 · 05-16-2009, 10:17 AM

Looks great-Once I get all that rust off the bumper, I'll see what's left!

Thanks
