1970 GMC Jimmy Wheel Color

I have what I believe to be an unmolested Jimmy. Does anyone know what color (preferably with a paint code) the rims should be.

SPID says body color is red. Truck is red with original paint. Current wheels are white, but SPID says Black top. Posit track 4-Speed factory air.

Unscrupulous dealer seller repainted top white. I will do a frame off Restoration next year but need to get wheels balanced and figured when i take them off might as well paint them.

Seems a red truck with black top would have black rims or silver rims. But most pictures of show rims in white. I see no example of a red truck with black top and white rims.


And anyone had experience powder coating steel rims?

Re: 1970 GMC Jimmy Wheel Color

GM 521 white ditzler 2185 - several threads cover this topic.

Here's a fresh set of powdercoated 15 x 8 steel wheels. I had powdercoater skip coating the inside of the hub section as the fit is so tight up front with others I've powdercoated I've had to pound wheels off for tire change.

Edit: your wheels were white originally. Post up pics of the jimmy when possible and good luck w the build.
