Radiator core support color?

[77 step]

Looks like a lot of good stuff laying around there Blazin.  Thanks for the reply.  So you painted the inner fenders black too?  Gloss or flat?  Any chance of a pic of the engine bay?

Gloss black. I have some somewhere. I will look for them.
Some of the pics were pre digital camera.
allot of good stuff! You don't even know the half of it. I have about 12 parts trucks /  future projects! Plus a 45 foot box trailer, and three full size vans with all kinds of Chevy parts in them!

I personally  like the fire wall in body color and the core support and inner fenders gloss black, even a little clear on them. I think you have so many contrasting colors in the engine compartment that having the large metal peices different colors blends right in. I like the grill area of the support satin or semi gloss because you see thru the grill but the focus should be the grill not behind it.

That's the way The General (original I know!) is gonna get done.

I vote for black   I did mine in black because my whole engine bay is black.

Thanks for the photos Jeff, It helps to see it... I try to imagine how it would look, but it is much easier with the help of a photo.  The thing is my firewall is already yellow.  I do like the look of yours, though. 

I am starting to think it may look good with the inner fenders and core support in black, and the inside of the outer fenders and firewall yellow. I just don't want it to look like patchwork, though anything would look less  colorful than it does now...

By the way, the wood blocks under the core support are temporary.  I ordered the energy suspension bushing kit for a 4wd, and got a cab for a 2wd. 

Luckily, I am installing a 3" body lift.  The difference in bushing height can be cut out of the lift blocks that go under the core support and rear cab mounts.  The wood blocks are for finding the required height before I cut the blocks that came with the kit.

I prefer all the underhood sheetmetal body color in most cases. However, not that I dont like yellow...but that might be a bit much. Mine is all white sheetmetal under the hood

The insdie of my outer fenders, hood, and fire wall are yellow.

Like Haulin Suggested, I too like the Black behind the grille, and Body Color under the hood for eveything.... If you plan on it being a runner, the dirt will be the most noticable/annoying to keep clean with yellow...

agreed, if you plan to paint the core support yellow, I think Id paint the front side black, so you dont see the yellow through the grill, that might not look so nice.

Jeff (JJSZABO), That is a beautiful engine compartment! You've spent some time in there for sure. Lorne

Thanks Lorne, now hopefully it will start   I've only bumped the motor over - have not tryed to start it yet - waiting for better weather.

I would definately paint the core support and inner fender black...no matter what color the truck is.  I think a satin or semi-gloss would look better than a gloss black.

Thanks, Jeff. 

I think that is what I decided on.  Black for the inner fenders and support, and body color for the inside of the outer fenders and hood.

Thanks to everyone for your input.
