Two tone paint on 69-70 trucks?
In a Chevy Pickups book i have, it says that the paint scheme with a white top, and the area inbetween the side trim also white, with the rest of the truck a contrasting color, was only available on 71-72 trucks. According to the book, the only color schemes available on 67-70 trucks was solid, solid with a white top, and a white top, and area below the trim. While junkyarding the other day, i came across a 69/70 GMC pickup with original appearing paint, but 2-tone paint that appeared original. Was the book correct, or were 2-tone paint schemes offered from 69-72?

longhornjeff69 has an original '69 that is white/green/white/green.
The book is full of ca-ca. ------------------ '69 G.M.C. 350/350. Trying to clean up the left over damage from the Dope-Smokin-Old-Man I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it.

Yup, and it probably says the Longhorn started in '69 too huh? Even though we have not one, but 2 '68 Longhorn owners on the board.
