Original Rim Color

[Drey]

Does anyone know if the split rims on a 71 C20 would be painte silver or white from factory. Bumpers, Mirrors and cab are all white.

Im going to sand blast them and repaint them. I want to stay era correct if possible.

Only stock ones i've seen at car shows and whatnot were white.

I bought my '72 C2500 in 1979. (Still drivin' it) and the 'ol boy I got it from said that the paint was all original then. The splits are gone now but I always liked the way the original wheels looked. Here is a 1980 pic.
