Re: Rarest Paint Color?
Maroon. Are you trying to be different? Or just quizzing us?

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
The 1969 only maroon seems rare, and I have only seen this yellow on a couple of other trucks.

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
I don't know....the primer combo on my truck was the only one I'd ever seen like it. I called it grey. Neighbor said it looked green. I think he's nuts. So did his wife when she ran him off....

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
There are some trucks out there with a "Special Paint" code. I have one of them. I have only seen one other truck this color. The outside has only been painted once and I did it so I know its original. The interior has never been touched( all factory paint) and I have the original glovebox with it listed

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
Still waiting for my favorite color. It falls in the special order group.
Dark Olive with a red top and a Vodka stripe. Seriously though this has been a great thread. I'm surprised how many of the trucks I remember as a kid are listed here as stock colors. I graduated in 80 and don't remember seeing them on the lot new, but there were lots of them around town. Golds, browns, blues, reds, and at least one purple one. Funny I don't seem to remember any green ones. We owned an all white 71 3/4 ton 4x4 with the 292, 4 speed and service boxes.

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
I have a 68 that was originally maroon , as for the yellow if you came out to Delaware all the old state DOT Chevy pickups were that color. I have seen quite a few in the jyards when i was a teenager they had 22 of them lined up in a row all step sides accept for 3 blazers and a suburban.

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
Ice Coral Pink. It's a Canadian GMC color from either 71 or 72 only...

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
Maroon was pretty common around here but I have never seen a pink (coral) truck except on this board.
Lance beat me to the Ice Coral Pink...love that color...LOL!

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
Ice Coral Pink hands down. I think every dealer in Canada got 1 of them.
The 69 GMC marron was definatly not common. Had one. Very nice color.

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
You need to differentiate between production color,Fleet (like that yellow),special paint,Chevy vs GMC,and US vs CN.The special paint colors will all be rare in comparison.The Canadian models offered a couple special paint options in their line.So it`s kind of not apples to apples.There rarest production colors would be the one year only ones.
I had a light grey`69 Stepside that was special paint.It also came from the factory with red wheels...all 5.
