Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
There is part of the upper left number that is covered by the hanger,and maybe some other digits. The white that is showing under the spring next to the hanger is actually plastic from a lable that was on the pack. I replaced all of the spring packs a few years ago and I didnt get all of the shipping lable off lol.

Hey Aerotruck63, what are the hood ornaments worth if they can be found? Im not trying to buy or sell one, but if I were to come across one, what would a fair price be for one in decent shape?

I added more grill pics to post 83. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...4&postcount=83 It looks like the factory painted the panel body color then black then white. Take a look at the numbers written in grease pencil. Were they written on the paint then bled through? They may have been written on panel before any paint. I thought the numbers were written on the paint. At least that's the way it looked on the firewall.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Not that I'm likely to attempt a chalk mark and overspray style restoration, I love seeing and learning about what the exact "factory" way was.
I have an all original 64 chevelle that I found both build sheets, original invoice and delivery paper, owners manual, etc with- pretty exciting stuff to us that appreciate it. I usually browse over in the 67-72 area because I have a 68 suburban, but I may be trading an OT vehicle for a 65 gmc, so I'm studying up. If I don't trade, I am thinking I will probably start looking for one anyway. Cool trucks |

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Correct color and texture for a '66 dash. This is a NOS in the box (so unfaded) deluxe heater control panel, so the color should be exactly as GM made it. It's showing up slightly lighter on my screen than it really is; the bottom pic of my glovebox door shows the color better.
http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/s...0/c9eb57c3.jpg http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/s...0/4fa06372.jpg And a shot of the inside of the glovebox door from my '66. This should be unfaded as well. This photo is showing it slightly darker than the real part is. http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/s...t/223db84e.jpg |
Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
can you compair this color to your control panel and tell us how it measures up?

This is an awesome thread and I will be adding info as time permits. Here are a couple of photos of a 66 gmc firewall with factory Powerglide auto and factory power brakes. the red color is a repaint not matching the original cardinal red but the firewall is the original fawn paint.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Great detail. When going OEM, sometimes its not all the stuff you do correct that is seen but the one thing you do wrong. I like details personally.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Jonzcustomshop are all those trucks yours. It looks like my personal junkyard(or partsyard as I prefer to refer to it). I will have to come down and visit you on of these days and check it out. One of my blk 65 K10s was original to Missoula. It is very original except for the flat bed and I have original protecto plate and key fob from Kraabel Chevrolet in Missoula.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
I've got a question about the interior paint on the doors--where does the interior paint end and the exterior paint begin?
The exterior paint rolls into the door jam and is separated by the weather striping piece over the pinch weld/flange around the inside of the door opening. But where on the door itself is the line between interior and exterior paint? -Brad |

Don't know if we did it 100% factory , but it's as close as we could figure.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
What do you originalists do about paint colors underside - brake drums, suspension parts, rear end, etc? Thanks

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Semi-Gloss black - The only ones who see the underside of the truck are those poor souls on the sidewalk that I've passed over ;)

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
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
I had some nos brake drums they were painted black
