I have looked at many Chev and GMC old 1.5/2.0 ton trucks and they all seem to have been sold without the beltline painted. Makes sense as they were mostly for commercial work. Please comment. 1946 GMC 1.5-Ton Nellie In the Stovebolt Gallery Pictures BEFORE restoration It is FINISHED!

Reds can be lighter than the body color which can be a burgundy. I am painting my '37 GMC a(Rustoleum) dark green body and a mix of base color and yellow, which closely matches my powder coated wheel color. Ed Last edited by EdPruss; 09/11/2015 2:34 AM.
