I am sure this is on here somewhere but for some reason I find the search option hard to use.

What was the standard wheel color for 1953 "transport blue" 3100?

Did '53 3100's have painted bumpers and hub caps? If so what were their colors thanks

Anvil Gray bumper
Thistle Gray hub caps
(no chrome in 1953)

I do not see specs for wheel color(s).
I'd guess black for regular cab truck wheels and body color for Suburban/Panel/Canopy truck wheels?

Funny, I asked that same question when I was putting my '51 back together and there doesn't appear to be a definitive answer.
I finally opted for powder coat black with whitewalls and some bling rings and it looks pretty normal to most folks.
Don't sweat the smallies is my best advice.
