Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?
with a little work i was able to uncover this on the roof. unfortunately the roof is the only spot that look like this. its not rust, it appears to be red primer. the rest of the truck's paint has some patina but not as good. i think the patina comes from a poor pain job and not so much time. the previous owner used metallic blue rattle can (not even close to matching the color) to cover up surface rust. i got that off with mineral spirits, steel wool, and elbow grease.

I think what you're seeing with your paint, is the lighter blue factory paint under a darker blue that was painted on by someone else. The pinkish red primer is likely factory primer Posted via Mobile Device |

Cool 68 on ebay....kind of like the clear coat over patina look. I will be surprised if someone doesn't hit the buy it now button at $12,000.

Here's my 67 short step side. Still sitting out in the field, but has decent patina.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?
The red one next to it is a 1959 Ford short bed fleet side. It ran and drove when it was parked.

I wonder what the explanation is? Did the factory use different shades of primer for whatever reason? Do you mean the turn signal lever? The screw driver? Lol. Pretty unique Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?
Mister-B, GM did use different primers on different parts, the black was an e-coat if I'm not mistaken. The cabs were primed with a spray on primer, while the fenders were dipped, possibly due to the cab not being able to be dipped in the black e-coat? I have seen a number of these trucks with different primers on the same truck under OG paint.
