Re: 1964 inline 6 engine color
Another alternative would be Alpine Green which was used on Detroit Diesels and later DH ToroFlow engines. From what I've seen U.S. built GMC's with the inline sixes from 64-66 unlike Chevrolet were Moly Orange rather than that green color.

Re: 1964 inline 6 engine color
thnx for the info., I guess ill go with the green. Detroit green has a better ring than mopar . so I can live with it . I think I read in a old post that was possibly the orig. colour for 292 . my p/u was for sure the bottom of the herd . I don't believe it had one option . a heater , but I imagine that was standard by 64 didn't realize at the time , I was posting a pic of my model .not my 55 . very small pic in album . very easy build though ,paint was about .25 cents .this is the real thing . and my 71 . it came out with a 250 . not a v-6 in the herd , yet!!! thnx again bill

Re: 1964 inline 6 engine color
I remember seeing a 66 1000 Series pickup with a 292 inline six and the data plate confirmed it was factory installed. Brochures didn't mention the availability of this engine that year but it was offered in 66 for the first time,

I think the 292 was in Canadian GMC's far back as 1963.
