The truck is a 3-window, if that matters. If black, were they gloss, semi-gloss, or flat?? (I've searched through dozens of threads, but can't seem to find an answer) Thanks. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
Standard wheels were black. Most likely a semi-gloss black.
Special-order paint combinations were possible, making any color possible.

So, if I paint my wheels the original body color (Cape Maroon), this would be considered period correct? I'm not planning to show the truck, but I also don't want to give knowledgeable folks an excuse to say the truck isn't right. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
Well, you would have to convince them that it was available from the factory by special order.
