tfargo New Guy T Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 6 ND	Hello joek3167, Thanks for the reply. I'm tending to agree 1/2 ton 283 pickup engines should be gray. But why does VCCA call out green for 1960 only? Gray for 1959 & 1961. Did Chevrolet switch for one year... I haven't been able to find any Chevrolet photographs with the hood open on a V8. Can you point me to any original engines or photos indicating gray for 1960? The follow up question would be what color gray does a person pick? Thanks, Kendall
