I've got a 1960 Suburban with a straight six, 235. Does anyone know what stock color of the engine was? Were there multiple colors? If anyone could help that would be great.
Thanx

The 1960 GM Restoration Pack describes the 235 engine color as "Gray" and as "Blue Gray".

The Filling Station's DARK gray is the closest to original parts that I have found. I think it is p/n: FS 359

Does anyone have a picture of the actual color blue/grey? I'd like 2 match it locally. Called Eastwood they had no clue. I'm talking for a 1960 235 engine its a Surburban.
