Slick 60's

I'm curious what color primer did they use in 65? Now that I finally got my 4x4 65 on the road for the last couple weeks I took it to the car wash today. The truck is black with black and red interior which I believed to be original paint. Now this truck hasn't been wash in god knows how long and when I rolled out of the wash bay I found that I now have spots of orange paint showingall over the truck.

Probably original red lead primer. Good stuff when you could still get it.

I dont know back then but today the primer depends on the topcoat color.

from what i have seen in the many trucks i have had and dismantled ,the lighter colors had grey primer , darker ones had red.

my boys truck which was in original green under the gray primer the po thought was cool looking had a pink primer under the original paint.
It might have been red primer but really looked pink when we sanded through the green

mine has red and it's a black truck.

Thanks guys
