Roof paint question
I'm getting ready to paint the roof on my swb 63 fleetside in ivory.
Could someone with a stock style painted roof snap a pic of the door jams for me? I'm wondering, is the paint just on the outside of the truck or does the white carry into the door jams and on the inside of the doors? |

Re: Roof paint question
In short, jambs yes, doors no. See the pic for jamb reference (same as 63). White on exterior tops of doors ends at edge of door. It does not wrap at all, and no white can be seen from inside.

Re: Roof paint question
Please don't call it Ivory. 1963 was the last year for Cameo White.
If your upgrading your truck you can do the interior door panels, instrument panel and dispatch box ( glove compartment).

Re: Roof paint question
Areotruk63, that is one good looking interior, i would love to find a gauge cluster for my 63, so much cooler than the idiot light dash.

Re: Roof paint question
Thanks for those pics.
Exactly what I was looking for. Great looking interior also, I might use your idea on the white in the cab. |

Re: Roof paint question
I carried my two tone around into the cab. The dash, roof and back panel is white and the door upper frames are white as well on the inside. The doors are blue inside and out starting about an inch below the bottom of the window frame....it follows the body crease for the split between white and blue.
