Thanks Factory stock. The firewall on this one is all red but I think some fawn color is peaking through. Yes the Custom emblems are Red and White striped. Its on a lift in storage so it will be awhile before I can snap more shots. I've had these emblems NOS before and your definitely correct on the red and white. Most I see are just white striped ?? I also had a low mile 63 Custom one Ton panel that still had its original red and white striped Emblems. The full wheelcover photo is the day I picked it up in Baxter Springs KS coming out of the old shop it was stored in, I agree those hubcaps were ugly.

EXcellent reference for someone doing a factory restoration ( wish there were more done up stock this way). I brought up the differences in GMC's before, and your truck proves my point. It has the blacked out area between hood scoops ( near hood latch) to look like one large hood scoop. Also black fender tubs found on GMC's built in Pontiac Michigan. I assume the firewall is fawn on your truck also. One request, please show a close up shot of the "Custom" emblem. If I am correct it is not all chrome, it should have red and white paint stripes below the "Custom" logo. In a world were most everything is modified for one reason or another, it is a treat to see a GMC looking the way it did in 1966.(except for that photo with the car style full wheel covers of course)
