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
