The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread

Two Tone Paint on 60-61 GMC How does the two tone paint work on the firewall to the front of the cab. In other words, is the bottom color continued to the firewall up to the cowl and the white painted on the bolt on parts, fender cowls, vent cover(part that covers the vent and has the wiper drivers). I'm not sure I would be correct and I haven't seen the firewall's of factory two tone GMC's

I found this old truck today, I beleive it to be an original one owner truck... I thought the two tone on the door panels and dash might be helpful to someone. notice the chevrolet in script on the glovebox door

Nice find, hard to believe that all of the knobs and the script are still in there! I am not 100% positive but I think that the script was only in 60..

Bottom pic is a slightly better preserved version of what you saw. I nabbed this photo from another good reference thread. See post #12 from Jonzcustomshop for a KILLER '60. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=439322

This is interesting to me: Deluxe cab treatment, with arm rests, chrome knobs, and colored inserts on the door panels... but a standard steering wheel.

Did they have the Deluxe steering wheel in '60? ('60, as evidenced by the script on the dash)

(well darn... I don't know how to quote pics from someone else's post. This is in reference to the junkyard truck back on the 3rd page, post 55.)

Not sure about all, but here is the firewall on my factory two tone '60 GMC. It follows the middle color (white).
