Terrace Blue 1972 GMC only color
After a little research I discovered a 1972 GMC only color I liked, and wanted to see if anyone has there truck with this still on it. I found one in a junkyard here and pulled most of the interior parts, I need to go back for the belts, but I even got a pretty good dash pad. The exterior was badly faded and rusted. I would love to see good pictures of a truck still painted the terrace blue, please post!

Re: Terrace Blue 1972 GMC only color
My '67 is Terrace Blue. Seems it was a GMC-only color in '67 too.

Re: Terrace Blue 1972 GMC only color
Maybe it's the lighting, but that looks more like medium green. Very nice, but the one I saw and the parts I pulled from it were a darker shade and bluer.

Re: Terrace Blue 1972 GMC only color
The picture is off a bit, the color is definately blue. As for L.A., your probably more likely to have a late model Honda or Acura stolen around here than anything else. But I keep this truck on a short leash anyway!

Re: Terrace Blue 1972 GMC only color
Beautiful truck,Bob.You`ve been holding out on us.That Terrace Blue is what I think of as a torquoise color...right there at the tansition between blue and green,like aqua.Definately a bluish green/greenish blue.

Re: Terrace Blue 1972 GMC only color
I did some more looking and the terrace blue was offered in a couple other years too. Maybe the note on the 72 chart just meant it was GMC only that year. Who knows. I like the color. Maybe add some metal flake too.
Thanks Bob for the picture. That has to be one of the best polish jobs ever. Any others have pics?

Re: Terrace Blue 1972 GMC only color
Thanks guys! This truck was a very straight 1 owner deal, so it didn't take too much to get it looking good. Special K is right, Terrace Blue is a turquoise. A bit more blue than green. Anyone know what years it was offered? Can't say I ever saw it on a Chevy, and I don't think GMC offered it every year from '67-'72.
