G506 paint colors

Post by Hanselandgretel » Mon Apr 30, 2018 3:16 pm

I need the correct paint colors for the engine, flywheel housing, transmission for 1 1/2 ton Chev. I read the threads and can not find it. Help please? Thanks Al Hansel 507-528-2780

Al,

This topic has been discussed many times in the past. Read one of my old build threads or one from other folks that have contributed information in the past. The engines were gray, a dark gray on early YP and ZP trucks, and a lighter shade of gray on the N series. Bell housing the same as the engine. Not sure on the transmission as I have had originals that were: unpainted, gray, and OD green.

Al,

Take a look at these links:

viewtopic.php?f=25&t=207766&hilit=g4112 ... &start=150
I went with the darker Hirsch color for my 41 truck, but used an off the shelf ford gray for the later 42 color.
