TX WTB: orange door for my 76 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**jocko** · 01-16-2016, 08:58 PM

I know this is a shot in the dark since this orange wasn't offered on 76s without a special paint order (except for the Sports, I think - which is why it may be a special paint order on a regular old k20) - but pretty sure this special paint order is NOT tangier orange which is what came on the Sports (I think). Looks a lot more like 524 hugger (or sometimes called just red-orange). Some of the oranges from other years are the same as this so am crossing my fingers someone may have one lying around in decent shape. Anyway, if you have an orange door that looks like THIS orange, not tangier orange, and it will fit this truck (73-76, is that correct for the door change year?), please let me know! Looks like the po tried to add a Sport stripe to this truck, but it's not original. Rest of the paint is original except for the wacky white accents and the faded pinstripes. Tinkering with the idea of just restoring the chassis/frame/interior/motor and leaving the body as is (and taking a shot at removing the crazy hood striping) - if it just weren't for the darn door! (on the driver's side, it's all smushed) Thanks.

I've got an orange door from a 73-76 rust free has a slight dent behind the mirror. I think it's a driver door but the paint doesn't have any shine to it i don't think.
