Are you sure it is '62.
I purchased a re-pop mirror arm and put my '73 nova mirror on it.

Yes. I have had the truck since 1998 and know the previous owners. The original tan was under the rattle can paint. Probably never removed since installed. Short of junk yards there was no parts swapped except front fenders, now I got 2 nos ones to put on.

Fawn Beige and Cameo white are the two colors for the dash

It was a factory option as far back as 1960, Its listed in the OEm Options catalog as seen in the pic.

1963 frame off restored back original down to the correct bolts, screws, paint and engine, video is on youtube. This should help if you want to see original. (The oak in the bed instead of pine and an passenger sun visor are the only things not original)

Beautiful truck!

Did you leave that one item non factory for personal taste or to test the purists?

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
I'm wondering if anybody would have a picture with the dimensions of the cab from factory. I'm concerned my cab may have moved a little bit when I was taking the floor apart. thanks

How many are aware of a date code stamped in the bed wood. Mine is a 66 SWB and has a date code stamp. Just throwing it out there.

That date code has been noted on a few trucks here, but most beds don't survive well enough for the stamp to remain visible. Also, I've noticed most that are reported are from '66. Not sure on the significance of that fact. Can I ask where your truck was assembled?

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Hey guys, I've got a primer paint question:
I know the bed and front sheet metal got black primer, cap and doors got red oxide primer.
What color primer did the cowl covers and cowl vent get?
Also, and this is pretty important to me for my build, what color primer did the '60-62 grille, headlight doors and bumpers get?

The factory primer/sealer on the cowl extensions and vent grill were red oxide, the bumper and front grill were black.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Thanks BHAP and 60-66! My 61 has a darker gray colored dash and the glovebox has gray too. This is factory colors and I want to eventually paint the dash. I think I have found the correct color and will send a post after I test it on some other metal to see if its a match. Appreciate ya’ll!

LT1 Burb. For the body colour painted underside of your cab, did you use regular clear coat or some other protective clear?
