My truck has a Bombay Ivory grill, no chrome anywhere. The body is (re)painted one-tone. Looking more closely in the gallery, I see some bolts have a roof painted white and some are body color. I can't see any correlation with roof color and back window size, chrome windshield molding presence (this being possible evidence of a deluxe cab package), engine size, or GMC/Chevy brand.
Was a white roof a stand-alone option, part of another package, or something done later in life?
White roofs: 8thAirForce's '58 Stepside with painted grill
TxPete's 58 stepside with painted grill
lms1943's 58 stepside with chrome grill
Non-white roofs: Hairbag's '58 stepside with painted grill
Red58's fleetside with chrome grill
Cliff's '59 twin to my '58, with painted grill
Stevie-t's '59, the holy grail of originality, is loaded to the gills with options. He has both a white roof AND a white band at the back glass which opens
another can of worms!
Thoughts?
Bill
