Calling All Two-Tones

Unfortunately, I don't have any information. I collect factory photos of 60-66 trucks and this is one of them.

About a month ago my sister sent me this one to scan. Taken in 1961 or '62. Mom and Dad's two-tone 1960 GMC Suburban, same one that's in my avatar. We had just driven from western South Dakota to Georgia to visit my Grandparents. That' my Grandmother.

Heres a sneak peak of my 63 GMC Two Tone. Not quite finished though. Palomino Tan and Ivory.

WOW! Great color and a Great Truck; Kudos to you GMCCollector.

WOW - Jon, that truck is awesome. Love Palomino Tan on the old GMC's. I just bought a super rarely equipped 66 suburban I can't wait to show the group and I am going to paint it Palomino and White like your truck

Thank you Steve ! Its a color that is growing on me , I think the off white really compliments this color. Cant wait to see your new purchase and option list. Was it originally Palomino Tan ?

[GMCNUT]

No this one was that plain paper sack tan - sort of like khaki pants I guess. A little boring for me so I wont repaint it that color. Its been repainted a similarly boring brown color sprayed directly onto the original Tan like they used to do back in the day, so gotta get this one sprayed in the Spring to any other color combination but leaning to Palomino because its an old Pontiac color shared with GMC which hints back to the 1950's glory days of GMC when it was closely aligned with Pontiac plus its in the same color family as the Tan color that came on it vs Red, Green, Blue etc.....posting some pics now

Just don't leave your Palamino Tan trucks out in the sun too long. They turn pink after a few years!

Just posted the new 66 GMC Suburban story and pictures on the General Discussion board. If I can get this suburban painted as nice as Jon's 63 on this thread using the same colors I will be in heaven

Jon, I seriously would appreciate you sharing the paint brand and codes you used when you bought your Palomino Tan and White colors - would help me tremendously when we go to shoot this Suburban in the Spring.
