Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
oem4me The 62 interior has a white steering wheel is it painted white over a black base? The steering column and lower dash section below the gauge cluster as well as the Gauge surround are they painted white as well? The Glovebox, does it have the black in the center and the white as the instrument panel section?

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
On your 62,
black primered hood, black underneath? Black primered fenders Black primered box? Doors? Red Oxide primered cab? Sorry for so many questions but this is a rare opportunity to find out what types of preparation and finishes were used. I noticed in a few factory photo's the doors rear view mirror hanging like a pendulum instead of upright. Also black mirror head with body color arm like on your truck.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
heres another little detail thing i got together. scanned a decent aluminum gvw tag off the leftside kick panel and touched it up. then took it to a screenprinter who printed 6 up on sheet aluminum in a medium blue/grey color. i cut them out, stamped the right numbers in and drilled the rivet holes. had a pretty nice new looking tag.
not sure what years had this but i'll offer the artwork for any guys anal enough to do the same. clem@hogeye.com |

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
That looks good! I used a slightly different process back when I made one for a '65 I restored.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Do you think the black finish under the hood could be the same as on top of the hood? In other words, they simply primed the whole thing but painted the top?

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Two Tone Paint on 60-61 GMC How does the two tone paint work on the firewall to the front of the cab. In other words, is the bottom color continued to the firewall up to the cowl and the white painted on the bolt on parts, fender cowls, vent cover(part that covers the vent and has the wiper drivers). I'm not sure I would be correct and I haven't seen the firewall's of factory two tone GMC's

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
I found this old truck today, I beleive it to be an original one owner truck... I thought the two tone on the door panels and dash might be helpful to someone. notice the chevrolet in script on the glovebox door

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Nice find, hard to believe that all of the knobs and the script are still in there! I am not 100% positive but I think that the script was only in 60..

Did they have the Deluxe steering wheel in '60? ('60, as evidenced by the script on the dash) (well darn... I don't know how to quote pics from someone else's post. This is in reference to the junkyard truck back on the 3rd page, post 55.) -Brad

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
In my literature they define the color as Charcoal Black on the Dispatch Box. Is the color the same all over the dash and door inserts or is it two tone?
