Grandpa bought it new at Hoehn GMC in Skagit County. I'm getting ready to restore it, and wonder if anyone knows what color it's supposed to be. The advertising literature from 1937 says they're "Narva Green" but Dad says it was red before they painted it gray in 1950. Nothing is left of the original paint, as Dad scrapped the bed after it was in a fire 30 years ago. Kashishke's photos show what appears to be green over red, or red over green (I can't tell from the photos). I've seen pictures of one other on the internet, and it was green also.

I know of one that has been sitting for over twenty years. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2013 Posts: 2 Moderated | | Moderated Joined: Jun 2013 Posts: 2 | The bed is steel with a wood deck. It doesn't take long in this part of the country for sheetmetal to rust out once you burn the paint off. Your trailer that's been sitting 20 years -- what color is it? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | The bed is steel with a wood deck.
