How to paint white cab top ?
What I really need is pictures of cab tops in white.
Where are the separation lines both inside the door frame and the back of cab ? I figure the A pillar will be painted white also. My truck is a 68 and is solid color now so I have no reference points to go by. I will need to add the chrome strip under rear glass, so need to see where the color line will be.  Thanks.

Re: How to paint white cab top ?
I painted the window frame white on my door. Then I simply put a tape line down even with that all the way around the back.
I didn't add the chrome strip. I was going to put a piece of trip tape over the line but so far haven't bothered. The a-pillars I painted white too.

Here are some photos of my family 68 two-tone with original paint, FWIW.

Re: How to paint white cab top ?
The stock paint on my 67 is only to the drip rail, no door or A-pilar. Don't have a better / closer pic.

Re: How to paint white cab top ?
67 was painted differently than 69-72 , not sure about 68.

Re: How to paint white cab top ?
Looks like a 68 was painted like the 67 with the pillar and door frame not white. I guess if you are not going for a 100 % correct truck you can paint it like the 69-72 tops.

Re: How to paint white cab top ?
I was thinking that 68 was like 69-72, but I was going by this old 68 GMC original paint we had awhile back. I think I will just stay out of this debate.

Re: How to paint white cab top ?
Samey,
Maybe it was different for GMCs? Or there was some of both? Anyway, I like the truck. |

Re: How to paint white cab top ?
you can look in my album if you need any more. I am a fan of white tops, too.
