Title: Need a picture
Post by: bowtieguy on March 12, 2008, 03:03:28 pm

My 79 has is blue with a white cab.  Can some one take a picture of there truck that has a different color top?  I don't think the guy taped mine off in the correct place when he painted it white. 

I didn't have a good picture of my truck. But did of my brothers.  I need to see where the paint stops at the points the arrows are.

It covers halfway down into the trim all the way across the back of the truck.

Bowtie Guy, Just like the Captain says, The color change is under the molding, meaning the small area under the window is the same color as the roof all the way across. Anything stopping in the area of your arrows isn't the way GM did it on these trucks. Lorne

hhmm makes me wonder if it left the factory with a white top.  That makes sense to stop under the trim.

Thanks guys!

Bowtie, Is it the Blue truck you have pictured? Exactly how is it? Is the lower color factory paint? Is there a gap of the other color showing under the window? I have seen a few add-on chrome strips that were put on too high (close to the window), thus no roof color under there. What makes you think someone couldn't have just "cheated" a little on the re-paint? Lorne
