Joe!
What color Orange is this?
Is it Hugger Orange?
Anyone know what Code Hugger Orange is?

imdarren · 12-03-2003, 11:47 PM

Ok.
While I'm waiting to hear from Joesjunk . . . . . .
Does someone else want to guess what Orange his truck is?

*dtlilly* · 12-04-2003, 02:38 PM

I don't think the trucks came with the marketing name hugger orange. The paint code for 71-72 orange is 516.

shuttermutt · 12-04-2003, 03:03 PM

Anybody got a pic of a 68 in that color?

krazy_texan · 12-04-2003, 03:36 PM

where is the paint code on our trucks

*dtlilly* · 12-04-2003, 03:42 PM

Should be detailed on the glove box sticker.

Hugger · 12-04-2003, 04:22 PM

The paint code for Hugger Orange is 524, it was called Red-Orange, or Orange-Red I can't remember right now. My 72 came with it.

I always thought that the Hugger part of the name was added later also.
I would like to see a build sheet with the Hugger name on it
The color code is 524
The original paint chips refer to it as Hugger Orange
It also states that it is a 1972 Chevrolet color only

I was of the belief the "Hugger" designation was a Camaro name for the same paint code....but I could be wrong....again.

WRMZ71 · 12-04-2003, 11:30 PM

both them trucks look hugger orange to me. Them are some tight rides too i might add

imdarren · 12-05-2003, 01:47 AM

Just wanting to compare the two shades of Orange that Chevrolet used it 72.
If people could post pix of their trucks in the two shades, I could make up my mind what color to paint mine.
My 72 Super (In my Avatar) is the 516, but is original, and faded.
I need to see a pic of one with fresh 516 paint.
Also need a pic of fresh Hugger Orange paint to compare.
griesel72, are you saying the pic you posted is hugger orange?

Please

Darren

imdarren · 12-05-2003, 02:07 AM

So, dinnut
Are you saying that is Hugger 524?
Or Regular Orange 615?

Darren

*dtlilly* · 12-05-2003, 02:22 AM

This is turning in to an interesting thread, I really like the orange trucks. Imdarrin, could you post a full size pic of yours? I know it's faded, but it might shed some light on the issue.

imdarren · 12-05-2003, 02:39 AM

This is my 72 Super.
Regular 516 orange.
This is when I first got it home.
I tore off the antennas, and got a new front grill / bumper since this pic.

Darren

Hugger · 12-05-2003, 12:14 PM

Heres a pic of the original red-orange 524 Hugger paint...

griesel72 · 12-05-2003, 02:54 PM

Imdarren

the first truck i posted was a hugger orange painted in july 2002 for a 1972.

This truck is a 69 tangier orange, i believe 516 (but don't quote me on that)

ozarkhippie · 12-06-2003, 12:10 AM

Did I understand this right, Orange was only available in 72 trucks? Just curious I was thinking of painting one oragne, glad I saw this post.
