Post a pic of it!

I was just thinking about this. Only for 81-87 models though.

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

Hard to say. I like different colors/combos for different reasons/purposes. I've never seen a black and silver truck that wasn't stunning, though

Russet exterior with a tan interior...like the truck I own :metal:

Got a pic?

I like the cream/brown two-tones alot.

My Kilarney Green '74 is pretty cool. And I love the basic tan trucks a lot.

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

Can't really say that I have a favorite. I like the blue/white, orange/white, green/white combos and like the solid orange trucks.

Here is a 78 I just sold, Russett metallic and tan. One of my favorite combos

Nice!!

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

I have been considering black and silver on my 76. Or maybe patriot blue and silver. Maybe a hunter green, I can't make up my mind. :lol:

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

I like the silver truck with either the burgundy or dark blue two tone

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

You really think so??? (:cool:)

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

I have a rule for that. Never say what color you're painting your truck till the day you buy the paint!

I don't think there's a bad color used on GM Trucks. I loved my Adobe Gold Poly '84 (or adobe something). Don't have any pictures that show it well. But it was great for construction work, and cleaned up pretty.:

This green Camper Special is tops for me! But I do like the Blue on Blues as a close 2nd.

There were a lot of nice factory color combinations that I like. I love those lime green ones like the previous post but I ended up going Russet/Tan on my truck like post #9. I like seeing the factory colors on these trucks. More Lime Green Ones !!!

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

Red with black center strip and orange pinstripe, only seen that once so far. Any with grays, black or blues I pretty much like.

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

I would never go out of my way to paint a truck that color, but I would love to find one from the factory like that!

Same on the apple/lime green and white.

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

I had a yellow and cream 77, not my favorite colors but it was easy to spot in a crowded parking lot. Black with silver or blue with white would be my faves.

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

what is this color combo called? Or is it just a variation of two blues?

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

Yep, that's a good color scheme, for sure!

I like the Russet and Tan truck, too.

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

OOPs! I slipped up and posted an '84...DOH! I'll renew my sub soon so I can edit it out.

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

Here are a couple I found that I don't think have been posted yet. The black and copper is another great option IMO.

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

I like the first one Dieselwrencher posted. My CC will be painted real close to that except a white roof.

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

I like this "yellow" and white. I think the yellow is actually called like desert gold.

I also love this brown and tan,

And similar to as posted above, i like the Russet brown but with white.

I'd like the red n white two tones,tan inside.
but the green has grown on me

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

anything but the baby blue, nothing says POWER, TOUGH, and TRUCK like baby blue, oh wait, I meant the opposite, LOL

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

Gotta friend with a orange/white combo 84 Chevy.......it is sweet but he doesnt really like the color.....I told him how rare it is hopefully he will come on here to check out the site since I told him about it............

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

I have several of these trucks, and they all look great, but this is my favorite combo. It looks good on short beds and even on my old long bed.

Re: What is your favorite factory color or color combo from 1973-1979?
 

I too have several, and I agree on the blue and white being my favorite also. I think mine is a little darker with medium blue.

I've always been a fan of the odd colors.....I've always liked reds, blues, greens but found them too common. Guess that's why I'm partial to this....
