Re: Engine color
For cars it was 74, had mostly orange, some very lates had blue. 75 started with the fugly blue. Not sure about truck engines. Not sure about the switch to base/clear system.

Re: Engine color
All the engines in these rigs (67-72) had Chevy Orange engines.
The Corporate Blue didn't start until the mid 70's. Gary

Re: Engine color
Regarding the switch to base/clear... I had an 86 dually that was single stage. I think the next generation (88 and up) may have been the start of base/clear.
