VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - GENERAL Trucks and Vans '40s Chevy truck wheel colors

Greetings.

I work in the parts department of a Chevrolet dealership. One of our salesman contacted me and asked me to help him with a customer of ours. This guy has a '41-'45 Chevy truck, so I've been told and he wants to know what the wheel color should be. I've been told the fenders are black, but wasn't told the body color. Current wheel color is bluish-green, turquoise, and the owner says he knows that's not right. I've got nothing to go on. Tried autocolorlibrary.com and they don't give wheel color. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

The standard color for truck fenders was black up thru 1946.The truck could be ordered with body color fenders for extra $$.The wheels were black with all combinations and had no stripe.

I'll pass that information along. Thanks.
