Current rear-end whine is taking precedence though. Need to figure that one out. |

Milwakee Railroad Intermodal Trucking used a LOT of Mack trucks, orange with black frames, wheels, and front fenders, front bumper too. Sharp looking paint scheme. But that was the way trucks got painted back in the early days, -Teens, -'20's, '30's, '40's. Hood and cab a color, front fenders black.
I've seen Orange and White work really great too. Depends on how much brightwork you want. I'm NOT a fan of these "Murdered Out" cars & trucks. |

Started scraping the exhaust manifold to get ready for paint last night and wondered about original manifold color? Found some press pics from when engine debuted on the 6066 info sight and looks like all red? But some others show silver or black. Deciding on which way to go.....? |

Why some press photos show the manifolds red is because the engines were painted with the manifolds on but after running the engines the red would burn off revealing the actual color which is yellow. When my father took delivery of the brand new KM-2500 back in March 1, 1968 I clearly remember the exhaust s being yellow. A 1960 GMC tilt cab commercial confirms that, you can find it on youtube. I painted the exhaust manifold on my 478 yellow as well
