Ok. Factory Correct restore question -

Oil Filter cannister on a 1962 235 engine? All I have ever seen was black with orange top. But when mine came out it was all black with a rust colored top. No idea of the factory correct top color on the '62 for the 235 engines.

Before

after:

i think the orange looks great not sure bout correct, but from before pics u could have pick hot pink and would still look amazing great good

MitchFloyd · 04-30-2014, 03:44 PM

Thanks, Need to make sure before I start putting decals all over it. lol

**60-66** · 04-30-2014, 03:44 PM

Many of those early canisters were Blue with orange top in the mid to late 50s, that's what my 59 has. I just went out and looked, I have a 1962 12,000 mile shortbed with a 235 and mine looks to be all black with a white "AC stencil on top. I believe the white was originally a yellow color as Im finding that color on 63 stenciled air cleaners also. Heres pictures from the 62.

MitchFloyd · 04-30-2014, 03:51 PM

Ok. I knew bout the stensil and lettering. Thanks for clearing up the top color and lettering color!

sweet!

61K10 · 05-01-2014, 01:03 PM

wasn't there something about the different colors in being factory installed or dealer installed oil filters?

MitchFloyd · 05-01-2014, 02:46 PM

Here's a great write up from Patrick Doonan of D & D ANTIQUE AUTO PARTS - over on the stovebolt site.

I know mine was originally black base, but know idea of the cover top.

Guess a quick re-paint isn't too bad for just the top. But matching that stencil lettering is gonna be a pain. So far no luck on the decal.

**pimpston65** · 05-01-2014, 04:10 PM

i made a stensil once i use old stickers and placed em how i wanted them to lay and use a scalpal with a fine tip and alot of sweat but it came out fine them sprayed the color on the piece

Chevy tu-tone paint scheme, dual exhaust and oak bed wood but otherwise a stock GMC including 305 V6, bias ply tires, drum brakes, etc.

My 65 C20 37000 mile truck. Restoration took about 2 years to finish

That color really makes the truck photogenic. It isn't shy of the camera. Great looking truck.

I've seen this truck in person, and it's every bit as nice as it appears in pics.
Super job Kenny!

X2! The factory metallic colors ( which were few and far between) really make these trucks look even more modern. IMO, this is the pinnacle of the series, a truck that looks great and can still handle a heavy 4'x8' load. Looks like it just rolled off a dealership lot in '65. Thankyou for all your efforts, extremely well done, very inspirational.

HOTFUN · 07-17-2016, 12:10 PM

Awesome metallic turquoise color and such a throwback to the mid sixties period when all the Chevrolet lines except Corvette were popular in this color. Your trim lines, gaps, and factory paint details are lazer straight and sharp in the photos. Very exacting factory stock details in my eye. My hat's off to you Kenny. I love it. Mark

cru_zn_29 · 07-18-2016, 10:41 AM

Thanks guys for the compliments as we all know it takes time blood sweat and $$$$.

Wow. Hats off to you. That is incredible.

MitchFloyd · 09-12-2016, 02:49 PM

It's close. Got a couple things to go back and fix to be more accurate to factory correct.

61K10 · 09-13-2016, 01:02 PM
