Blaine,
The GMC's were a red-orange...sixes and eights; the Chevy 235s and 58/59 V8s
were gray;
I have no idea what happens when you mix GMC with a Chevy engine...but I would
guess the
gray. The car 235s were blue though, so that's always one more possibility.
Yeah, I know, big help.
Sorry,
Mark Noakes
