Re: 69 Custom 30 wrecker restoration

That is one good looking wrecker! I enjoyed looking thru your build. I have had trouble with the 514 red also. It was the orange-red you speak of until 1971. In 1972 the 514 red looked more like fire engine red. My paint supplier had just sold some 514 red to a guy restoring a 1972 Chevy truck at the time I bought paint for my 71. I finally had to buy paint somewhere else because he kept trying to give me the wrong color. My grand dad recently sent a 1969 GMC 2 ton truck to the scrap yard that was 514 red with a maroon interior like your wrecker.
