Tailgate Color?

[bigblockv6]

It's possible a few white ones got out there if they ran out of silver paint but generally they were all silver. I talked to Lewis Matkin about that a couple of weeks ago and he doesn't recall white ever being used other than on repaints. It's just like GMC V6 engine were normally painted red, yet around 1965 some were painted blue very possible they ran out of red and borrowed some blue engine paint from their neighboring division Pontiac.

This is mine. Canyon blue (or as near as we can make it) with the PPG Silver

Wow Jake, that looks like candy. Hurry up and get that thing together. I got a Two-Tones only thread going, and it needs a picture of your truck, GM

Nicely done. I dig the color -- looks similar to the test color I sprayed on my vent cover.

Thanks guys!, been a long road. The painter still has the bed, I'm getting the itch real bad to finish it. I put the mast of the brake parts of yesterday, (master cylinder, and short lines to m/c to frame lines.). I made up several grounding straps.

It's coming together real soon. I'm waiting on the bed to be painted. I don't have a factory correct two-tone. I did not bring the color down the sail panels, because I did not have the correct parts to make a true custom cab. Below is a picture the day we mounted the doors and hood I'm the sunlight.

Hey Jake, Would you mind if I post this picture on the two-tones page in the paint section of the forum? I would also like a picture when you get the bed on too. Thanks for the picture update,GM

Nope, I would be honored, I have more if you want them. I post them shortly.
