Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
My original paint 1966 is painted black on the underside of the hood.

I really enjoy seeing these nostalgic brochures and seeing just how much detail they put in these trucks. Sub'd, Thank you!

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Thanks F66! So, under hood is black. Can anyone with original paint tell me whether inside the front fenders, rear fenders, and underside of cab is body color or black?

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Well if I had the sense to post the thread I was talking about I'd be in better shape. I was supposed to post this link: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=455059
Pretty informative as to factory assembly.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Thanks for the additional info on your 66 Frank.
Rocknrod, thanks for the link. I went all the way through it. Incredible pictures!! I still haven't found answers to my 1960 paint questions. I know some folks on this forum have original 1960's.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
My 1961 has light surface rust under the hood, but overall it looks black. I can get a picture for you later today. I know 60-61 are very similar, only a handful of differences

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Saw this on Shorpy today, I'll embed the picture and the link to it.
This truck looks like a Brand new truck, but I don't know this generation well enough to confirm whether it's a 65, 66, or 67...??? http://www.shorpy.com/node/23777 http://www.shorpy.com/files/images/s...uatic_park.jpg |

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
A couple pics of mine, it is probably 98% correct, better than factory.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
LT1 Burb, thank you for posting the pictures of your truck. It is what I am shooting for with mine. A couple of questions. What year is it? What engine is that and what color?
The original color on my '60 283 is black, unfortunately. I think Chevy orange would look a lot better with the black all around and the original white exterior, but I am trying to keep it correct. So far, the only thing that won't be correct on mine when I finish is the dual exhaust.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
I personally despise repop hubcaps because I can spot them from a 100 yards away, so to me , paying 800 for a set is worth it.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
The stock color of the 283 engine in my 60 C10 is black (unfortunately). Is there a color code for it?
Does anyone know if it is a flat, semi-gloss, or gloss sheen? Also, any suggestions or opinions on brand and type of paint to use to paint this completely rebuilt engine are welcome!!
