Hi Guys,
We are about to build up a fuel tank truck using a 1937 GMC C&C and an old tank we have.I'm thinking about doing it in Magnolia because they were here in NM,but I have no idea what color/colors they used or even if there was a company standard back then.
I usually try to stay true to history around my place,so does anyone have any idea what color/colors they might have used in the late 30's - early 40's?I don't want to do just another red tanker truck on this one.Some of the books I have on tanker restorations/build ups show multi-color paint jobs.
I'm thinking about working with the colors on their globe with maybe a green cab with a white tank or a white cab with a red tank.
Does anyone know?What do you think?I want this one to be kind of special and eyecatching foe outdoor display.Who knows,maybe local jobbers did what they wanted to back then .Thank you for your thoughts.
