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

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:

I like the cream/brown two-tones alot.

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

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

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?

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,
