cast iron gray is correct for the brake drums and other misc. parts that were originally left bare cast from the factory.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
From the factory the outside color or colors (if two-toned) was painted first and then the interior color on the door jambs. If you notice when sanding on your door jambs you will sand the fawn off and the outside color is underneath it. Also at least for 62-66 with the white top the white was painted first and then the lower color.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Here was a number near/above/behind/left of the power booster in my truck. It is a 66 with factory power brakes. I only saw this number after getting through the OEM paint in that area, hadn't seen it before and as soon as primer went on it was gone. I think the item used was called autopen or something? It's a bunch of tiny dents that it's drawn with. Haven't been able to line up the number with anything yet, but didn't put a lot of info into it. If i recall when i decoded it, it's a fremont truck.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
There was a thread awhile back that showed a lot of firewall markings. I took some pics of the markings on my 61 parts truck for reference in case they may be helpful to someone else down the road.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Funny they put so much time and money into that truck to not find the correct hub caps for it....they would have really made that truck pop.

Yea,
Is the paint scheme correct? Some of these trucks you see online say factory correct restore but some things pop out as hmmmm.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
I believe so, minus the white top. The blue and white two tone is commonly seen on the 61 chevys. Looking through some of the literature on the factory literature thread....definitely see some 60's with two tones and white tops....so may be correct for 61 also. Someone with more knowledge on it may chime in.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Well this is very original, but modified at the same time. It's a 27,000 mile '65 C80 with a 409. It has been unmolested since being built in Pontiac around March 1965 as a Cab/Chassis and then finished by American LaFrance as a fire engine. There are many things done for fire duty but the key "Chevrolet" things are the fawn firewall, grease pencil writing, original dated Packard spark plug wires.
The air intake arrangement is interesting because it takes cold air from the grill area through ducting up the left wheel well, through the inner fender and into the oil bath air cleaner. |

Wonder why that fire truck has a hydraulic clutch in it.
