Default Re: Paint pattern on '60 two tone
The artwork from GM was all done way ahead of the actual models being released and painted on the line, and many times it is wrong. The red and white 60 on the photostore is a photo of a real 1960 truck taken post production vs the pre-production green and white artist rendering so use your own judgement. Hard to say which way they really came unless you have one that's never been painted and can look over in it. I know a guy with a green and white original paint 60 GMC so I will ask him and see if his is white or green inside the bed walls and front panel, but I bet its green in there - wouldn't make sense to paint one side of the tailgate the lower color and the other side the upper would it?
