The lettering and cab side number on the left-hand side was shown as red, but on the right-hand side, the lettering was shown as white, on both sides the lettering was stacked, the word "Pacific" under the word "Southern", rather than all in one line.[1][2][3][4][5]
A white Gothic SP lettering was applied to the front of the hood. The truck side-frames, fuel tank, pilots, snowplow and side sill appear to be painted a very dark grey, as well as the top of the long hood, cab roof and the side of the long hood down to a point parallel with the bottom of the dynamic brake blister. The step wells were also painted in Daylight Orange, and the vertical part of the stepwell handrails were white to the first stanchion.[1][2][3][4][5]
