need pics of maroon trucks
 
These are some pics of my 58K original mile 79 old farm truck. Had a 6cyl, now with 350 and TH350. I redid the bed in wood and it came out great will post pics of that later. She has undergone a small restoration and nowready for piant. I will get chrome bumpers and an updated grill. I really want to go with a nice Maroon color (or maybe a dark/navy blue) anybody got any pics out there (with the correct apint name please) of maroon trucks?

THAT IS IT!!!!!!!!!!

I looked up "monterey maroon" today. It is a chevy color for several years now. Lots of examples around town. That truck looks about the same. Will put up some pics of mine after I get it back.

Come on now ....Once a Shorty always a Shorty.....

I always knew them a True Spokes .I have only had one Car with them . They were it back in the day. I had a 67 SS/RS 396 Camaro that had them put on back in the early days . I bought it like that , sold it like that, and then the original owner contacted me about two months later and the guy I sold it to made out like a bandit selling it back to him. It was Madeira Maroon . Must be a Maroon thing . I cant say that I would leave them on that truck if I was to buy it but I like the old school look that truck has .

I believe that's the original Mahoghany. I had a '78 that color but only old scanned pictures that wouldn't show it so well. Can't go wrong with a good lookin' original color.

d-666 07-25-2011 06:41 PM

Re: need pics of maroon trucks
 
it'S called dark red metallic and it's gm color from 1985-1989
code is 8529

natebrehauze 07-25-2011 07:04 PM

Re: need pics of maroon trucks
 
thank you so much. You have help millions. I found that code before you posted just now... and it shows on a 93 vette, but then they cancelled that color on the vetter after a short time. Then it sent me to the trailblazers of 07-08 , then they add hues to it so its not the same, then newer stuff has it but minus the metallic, so at some point its been majorly changed and thus is where my head is spinnin... but thanks for confirming that. I already called my local paint supplier with the code and they are telling me no... so i guess i will have to print the pic. and drive in and slap them with it! but thanks a million. By the way- nice blazer , havent seen one that nice in a long time !
