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.
