I’m just about to paint my 70 1/2 ton back into factory colours, which is Tor red with a white painted roof.
I’ve been searching the internet to see where the white goes in relation to the bottom of the rear window; it seems some people have painted the white top across the horizontal bottom of the top which means there is white below the rear window; other people have painted the strip below the rear window body colour, and had it meet the white at the seam at the bottom rear corners of the truck.
Can anyone clarify, or better yet post up a photo of where I should be masking for the white top in regards to the rear window opening?

Re: Cab roof paint
Thanks
Looks like I’ll be going straight across at the 90 degree bend at the bottom of the cab.

Re: Cab roof paint
The 1963 brochure shows the underside of the window is painted:

But the 1968 brochure shows a black Vynil top that does not go under the window:

I will be painting under my window.
