Check this link:
1967 Chevrolet Truck Paint Chips

If you look at the bottom of the page you will see:
Code 544 is two-tone red and ivory.

The code on the glove box should state if your truck is two-tone in the description area.
Not sure about 67's but later trucks had a chrome strip that was a color separator around the back of the cab below the glass.

The 67's that had white or ivory tops had a different paint scheme than later models, which had the front window pillars the same color as the body versus the color of the top. It also seems that the side windows trim was body color also.

Just some observations

Have fun

Make note of the original paint scheme for 1967 two-tone.
It is different from all other years.
Some say this paint scheme looks better than the later models.
Thiswill only apply if you are restoring the truck to original specs.

Sounds like a intresting project.

Hutch: what was the scheme for 68 ? pillars body color or top color ? any pics ?

Hutch · 01-13-2003, 05:32 PM

On 68 the pillars would be top color and the window surronds would also be the same color as the top.
It seems as if all the later years used the same color scheme for the two-tone top only the 67 is different.
