well I was always led to believe orange but people have said some were green. Speedball from the forum has some pic's of his truck I looked and his engine looks green. So there must have been 2 different colors

My 292 inline 6 is still factory green. I think besides orange there was grey?

I have a '65 C-10 I restored last year with the original 283
still in it. It was a low miles truck and still had the factory
chalk marks on the block and heads. The engine is gray. I'm not
sure about '64, but I'm positive that '65 and '66 V-8's were
gray.According to a '65 manual :

230 L-6.....blue
292 L-6.....green
283 V-8.....gray

Thank you, The engine has a lot of miles on it but it looks more gray than green.
