Re: Paint code for Ivory white?

Well, until we track down a 67 data book to confirm what "should" have come from the factory (and there were probably always exceptions) - I probably need to limit my wheel color note above to 68-only. I've seen enough 67s that I have to assume are original with both body color (which I believe is probably the correct answer) as well as a few extremely low mileage 67s that had white wheels (which I'm inclined to believe were replaced despite the low mileage) Anyway - Russ, for your 67 K20 w/split rims, I'm gonna have to hold off on an answer until we can dig up a data book for reference. If you search the threads here 10 times for 67 (specifically) wheel color, you'll get about 8 different answers.

EDIT: FWIW - the 67 sales brochure shows silver/gray-ish, white, and black wheels (but no body color ones). But, the sales brochures are certainly not as reliable a reference as the data book. But considering 67 was the first year for the new body, none of the pictures were holdovers from previous sales brochures (which was common in both the 70 and 72 brochures).

Thanks Jocko, I was following this thread for the white standard as I was about to paint the split rims. Very nice subject started by 67 twins!
If you find the standard it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Russ

Thanks Jocko, I would be interested in what was in the data book for color from the factory if anyone comes up with it. I don't believe there was many made and that compounds the mystery. It would sure be nice to know.
Thanks Russ

Re: Paint code for Ivory white?

Here you go Russ - finally tracked down the difference between 67 and 68 wheel colors.

in 67:
solid paint truck: black wheels
two tone truck: body color wheels

in 68, this changed to:
silver wheels, except K and DRW trucks, which were black

Hope that helps. 1st pic is 67 db, 2nd pic is 68 db.

Re: Paint code for Ivory white?

Does anyone have the color name(s) or code(s) for 1972 K20 factory wheel color(s)?
