My truck is painted in the early 60s factory gray.

*LILRED66* · 06-12-2008, 12:06 AM

Here is a picture of my '66 Chevy K10 with factory color paint scheme.

*LILRED66* · 06-12-2008, 12:09 AM

This is OLGREEN. It had the factory paint on it before it was redone in late 2007.

what color did you paint it?
got pics?

*LILRED66* · 06-12-2008, 01:36 AM

I edited the original post to include an "after" shot. This truck was painted with several coats of Rustoleum, applied with a roller, wet sanded and buffed. A friend of mine named Jon from www.stovebolt.com got OLGREEN from me and did the restoration from his garage. He turned that sow's ear into a silk purse.

I have not been able to find any photos of the Dark Aqua or Silver factory colors, does anyone have any or seen any?

Here is a red 1962 GMC, front clip

I see there is one pic of a gold 66 stepside here.
I have a 66 swb custom with a gold firewall with
the original grease marker letters on it. Thing is,
I can't find where gold was ever an option in 66.
None of the color charts list it.

**jocko** · 09-24-2011, 06:53 PM

Am guessing your gold firewall is actually fawn - and many, but not all, were painted that color regardless of body color. Also, I believe the gold stepside in the pic above is actually fawn also. But who knows! Sure looks good tho.

tripleD · 09-24-2011, 07:05 PM

my 66 original blue and white

Chevy did have a gold color that was new for '66, but they called it "saddle metallic". Check your kick panel for paint code. IF it says "SPL" your color is not saddle metallic and was a special order gold color maybe from the car line.

This is the factory applied #510AA Turquoise for 1966

SFTorange · 09-25-2011, 07:35 PM

Here's my contribution. 1966 Saddle Poly/White factory code 555.

Can anyone tell me what is on the fender extension of the blue truck with the camper? This truck looks like a 66 c20?

Sorry i quoted you but no pics showed up. Have to look back to post #16

Blue? The original custom camper I posted #16 is a new for '66 silver metallic. There is a dealership emblem installed on cowl.It is a tutone with white, so original wheels are painted body color, silver.

Bumping this thread.
Was looking for pictures of factory Silver trucks.

Touchdown67 · 09-18-2013, 10:24 PM

This is my 65 C10. Not the exact beige color, but I like it.

likaroc13 · 09-19-2013, 01:18 AM

Not sure if it's 100% correct, but this looks very close to the Auto Color Library's yellow for 1965:

Delmo's old '65 with original Fawn paint with patina:

Another Delmo creation with original Gray paint with patina:

Original paint '64 Chevy C-10:

Dino's '64 Chevy C-10 Pro Street with original Turquoise paint:

And a beautiful Light Blue '65 Chevy C-10 restoration:
