Looking for pics of a Yellow (#525) truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Vince M · 02-02-2005, 06:58 PM

I'm interested in this color for my truck and haven't seen too many pics of this color. In my opinion it looks like a Lemon/Lime mix. Paint code is 525. Anybody got a picture they can post and if it's a two tone with white that would be great. Thanks

Is this the color you are looking for? It was on ebay a while ago. I think they call it grapefruit yellow.....John

This was a 72 year only color.
You signature shows a 68

I had that color on my 71. It was not a two tone , all yellow.

My buddy has had his '71 Blazer for almost 20 years. He got it from the original owner and it's grapefruit yellow. It has never been repainted. It's solid, not two tone.

Thanks for the pics...and Hutch...very nice truck. That is exactly the color I was looking for. My 68 isn't going to be original so I'm not too worried about the color. I'm looking for a color from the time period though. I like red but there are just too many red 68's around. I like black but ditto....so now I'm looking for something a bit different.

Hutch..got any interior pics of that truck?

Keep the pics coming.

Not 525 but what may be close based on the other pic's.
146410 WHT/LT YELLOW/WHT/L per the option sheet. Has been repainted but they used the org color from what I was told.
Here is one pic, few more in the link below...

What was the code for the light yellow in 68'? There was a 100% original 68' Burb C10 that was solid light yellow with white vinyl/cloth interior. It was an original California black plate truck bought from the original owner. 2nd owner showed it for a few years then finally sold it early this winter.

Going by autocolorlibrary.com , that color was used from 70-72...

Was "Saddle" the only interior color avaiable with this color and if anybody has a saddle interior pic..I'd love to see it.

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 02-03-2005, 10:33 PM

The cab I got from a '70 C/10 parts truck was painted that color, and the top was painted medium olive. The guy at the yard that sold it to me said that was the weirdest color scheme he ever saw on any of the 67-72 year model trucks.

**402Bowtie** · 02-03-2005, 10:42 PM

here is an interior shot of the one I posted earlier. It was a highlander....John

Jeremy_5 · 02-03-2005, 10:48 PM

here's mine it says light yellow on the glove box, but I think it was repainted with a more canary yellow. The firewall is the orginal "light" yellow color. I have a picture with the front clip, if I can find it.
