GMC Paint Codes - Motor
We have a 1965 GMC 4000 series dump with the 351 V-6. Plan to pull valve covers, add new gaskets and redo the covers. Initially I had figured to paint with typical chevy orange, but it appears more that these are some sort of a red color.
Anyone have a cross over or paint code or similar color that would be correct? Thanks LILREDGMC |

Re: GMC Paint Codes - Motor
Recently found an old Engine enamel paint code from Ditzler 70851 Red is the correct color for the GMC V6 same as Oldsmobile red . This was from a 1962 dated book

Re: GMC Paint Codes - Motor
Heres the information on the color for GMC V6 engine Red. Says 1962 and prior but the red never changed from 1960-1966 . Just that the book itself was a 1962 printing . 70851 was used on both Oldsmobile and GMC V6
