Black sealer/primer on hood, fenders, and box. Red oxide on cab and doors. Underside of hood is low gloss black. |
Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Do you think the black finish under the hood could be the same as on top of the hood? In other words, they simply primed the whole thing but painted the top?

I ran the vin, and it comes back as :63 3/4 ton 4wd cab chassis, from the st louis plant. I will look at the data plate next time I am out there and see if there is a paint code.... |
Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Two Tone Paint on 60-61 GMC How does the two tone paint work on the firewall to the front of the cab. In other words, is the bottom color continued to the firewall up to the cowl and the white painted on the bolt on parts, fender cowls, vent cover(part that covers the vent and has the wiper drivers). I'm not sure I would be correct and I haven't seen the firewall's of factory two tone GMC's

I found this old truck today, I beleive it to be an original one owner truck... I thought the two tone on the door panels and dash might be helpful to someone. notice the chevrolet in script on the glovebox door

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Nice find, hard to believe that all of the knobs and the script are still in there! I am not 100% positive but I think that the script was only in 60..

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
In my literature they define the color as Charcoal Black on the Dispatch Box. Is the color the same all over the dash and door inserts or is it two tone?

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
One thing i noticed on both of my trucks and even on some at the junkyard is a light lime-green-yellowish color under the black inside the hood. dont think its a coinsidence, maybe a plant specific paint scheme. srry couldnt get a good pic of the color.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
there are some of those big truck mirrors on ebay right now. for 1965 prices too. I almost jumped on them. intill i realized how much of a pain they would be in a parking lot.

after scanning a good original and retouching it, i have got a open ended file that you can add your option list to. not sure about earlier trucks but 64-66 used this on the glove box door. pm me if you want this file...
after printing on thin card stock i stained with weak coffee and sprayed with matte finish clear... looked great |
Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
clemdaddy nice of you to share with everyone. The coffee stain thing is priceless!

These came with my Grandpa's 1965 ... the first is a SPID or list of all options that came with the truck ( what ever they called it in 1965 ). The second is a sheet where it was gone over at the dealer ( all fluids and pressures checked ) before it was turned over to my Grandpa.

heres another little detail thing i got together. scanned a decent aluminum gvw tag off the leftside kick panel and touched it up. then took it to a screenprinter who printed 6 up on sheet aluminum in a medium blue/grey color. i cut them out, stamped the right numbers in and drilled the rivet holes. had a pretty nice new looking tag.
not sure what years had this but i'll offer the artwork for any guys anal enough to do the same. clem@hogeye.com |
Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
That looks good! I used a slightly different process back when I made one for a '65 I restored.
