I am wanting to repaint my truck to an original theme, the original interior is two tone Aqua Blue and Dover White. Is there a way to find the different paint themes that were used on these trucks? Were they available in two tone exterior? I've only seen restored 450's painted with a single color. Any help would be appreciated.

It states that all interior colour schemes are the same (beige and charcoal) regardless of exterior colour, I hope that helps some. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 70 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 70 | Thanks 3B, the 59's must be different than the 57's. The stock interior definitely is Aqua with Dover White. The seat is two tone as well, shown in Keith Hardy's Old Online Chevy Manuals . The truck has all the chrome trim and the 347 V8 so I would imagine it is the equivalent to a Custom Cab. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | You might want to check out, www.oldgmctrucks.com Several '55-'59 450 series truck owners on this website. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,961 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,961 | A lot of 450s were painted a company color because most of them were ordered. I don't think two tone was an option unless it was a company color. Options included a chrome grille, bumper, windshield molding and door window trim. A 5 window was an option which was actually a large window pickup cab with dividers installed for the corner windows. | | |
