[1960HDGMC]

Hey GMCNut, Do you know if the paint break was shared by GMC and Chevrolet, on the "Two-Tone tailgates"? Just wandering if two independent divisions addressed the paint break in the exact same way. Also wonder if Chevrolet also has the alternate paint scheme thing happening in this era. There are certain differences in standard application of paint beginning to come to light with 1960 GMC. It looks like western plants have produced trucks with substantial variation from the presumed universal 1960 GMC Paint Regulations. Period photos and original trucks show us some of the differences. Big paint stripes along tailgate top sections of Two-Tone trucks, and different inner bed paint schemes. May be on purpose from GM corporate level, GMC Divisional level, individual plant level, or will of the painter. We just do not know, yet, what caused these very interesting (and cool looking) variants. If we all keep digging, maybe we can find the smoking gun. GM
