Re: Cool Longhorn pic

I was wondering if they just tinted the picture. This brings me to something that I never got about 520 yellow. The charts show it as 69/70 color. But,I swear the '72 Blazer I've had since the early-80s said Wheatland on the SPID. It's obviously Grapefruit. It's a parts vehicle and I had the glove box door chromed many years ago. I also recall checking into a Highlander listed in Hemmings Motor News 20 or so years ago that was listed as being Wheatland Yellow. It wasn't until more recent years that I ever got into all this nitty-gritty info like we get into here. I just went by what I saw and I saw a lot since these trucks were new. I never saw that truck so I don't know what shade it actually had. But,I went for years thinking Wheatland was what is actually 525 yellow.

Ok,this thread is about a cool Longhorn toting a camper picture. Would you guys stop side tracking fer cryin' out loud?
