What is the proper color of a Chevy 235 Thriftmaster engine in a 1955 1st series 3600 Pick up?
Jim Carters catalog says 1929 -1962 all 235/216 truck engines are gray. Brothers truck catalog says 47-62 is gray. Chevy Duty catalog says the engines were only gray from 47 to 53 and that from 54 to 62 the color is BLUE like the car engines. Most general restoration catalogs like eastwoods etc that are not truck specific only sell blue and dont even mention gray engine paint. I posted on Carters Forum and a guy replied saying that in 1955 the truck engines were still grey and the cars were blue. What is it? blue or gray?
