Had to get my buddy in the shot. One evening he's in the garage with me and ask for a screwdriver, I figured the truck done been through a Hurricane what could he do it?' I gave him the biggest one I could find and he crawled under the front end pretending to be a mechanic.......

Thanks Jake. I found a little free program called Pixresizer. You put these big pictures in and it reduces them for posting online. Someone on here told me about it. I now have an album of pictures on here. I strongly suggest you go online and download Pixresizer, or some other similar program. It really makes uploading picture less of a chore. GM

Wow - Jake, this truck looks great. I've never seen anyone repaint a 60-61 truck in the Varsity Blue and white combination I don't think - I noticed you called it Canyon Blue? Varsity was the color name in 60-61 and other years so wondering if you used a Chevy code? seems like Chevrolet may have used a color called Canyon Blue

Canyon was a '61 color.

Hmmm....well now you've got me wondering - I was going by the codes & names on www.paintref.com which is where I get PPG codes to mix from - now I have to go look at my original GMC color sheets and see if I see the Canyon name replacing Varsity anywhere....never noticed that before but interesting to know

Hey GMCNut, I found a chip set for GMC that has Canyon Blue. It is 1959 GMC Canyon Blue(#U2407). On this chip sheet it is Number 5 on the 1959 GMC Colors List. Jake, is this your color? It is a nice looking color. I really like it on Jakes Two-Tone truck. It just looks like the early sixties. With the white on top, it reminds me of new blue jeans and a clean white T-shirt, the official uniform of the early 1960's,for many of us. Gm

Just found the 1959 GMC Color Chips. This shows what 1959 Canyon Blue looks like. GM
