I believe all of the GMC sixes and eights for the TF series were also orange. My 58 GMC NAPCO has never been restored (and looks it), and the 270 six in it is orange...what's left of the paint anyway

The V8 in my 58 GMC is the correct color, reddish orange (not Chevy orange) as far as I can tell. When I restored the engine, I took careful pains when removing stuff to save any areas that had paint

This may be the PPG for the darker gray as I had this in my notes on past engine color threads... Gray is the right color for truck 216-235 most years. PPG 34560 is a currently available match. --way
