Any brown trucks out there?
I rarley see any brown trucks out there. Does anyone have one? I dont even know what color the factory named it when it came out but I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about. It is like a chocolate brown color.
If anyone has a side profile of their brown truck I would love to see it. I'm working on a paint scheme for my truck on top of all the other stuff I have going. Thanks! |

Re: Any brown trucks out there?
Not sure. These are replica trucks built to resemble the truck in the TV series "The Fall Guy" in the early 80's. Anyone here much younger than 40 probably never saw it or don't remember the series, starring Lee Majors (The Bionic Man).
You may find a thread or two about the Fall Guy truck. I remember a couple cropping up here and there the last couple years here on the boards. Here's a Wikkipedia excerpt: The truck Colt's truck was an early 1980s GMC 4x4 pickup. It had a 6-inch lift and 35-inch Dick Cepek off-road tires mounted on a 16-inch chrome wagon style wheel. The truck also had a custom-made chrome roll bar mounted with 4 off-road lights, and a custom chrome grille guard mounted with 2 off-road lights and a Warn winch. One unusual characteristic was a secret compartment in the truck's bed, which was used to stash away villains or to hide weapons. The vehicle was painted brown and tan two-tone; it had an eagle painted on the hood with the phrase "Fall Guy Stuntman Association" underneath. The truck was very often involved in high-speed chases and huge jumps. As a result, it became very popular, especially with children, and numerous toy and model versions were produced. During the show's run, the stunts took their toll on the trucks (for example, one clip that appears in the opening credits clearly shows an axle breaking after a jump), so several different year model trucks are used during the show's initial run. As a result, there are some inconsistencies in the episodes. For instance, in the pilot episode the truck (a 1980 model) has two square headlights and a light tan interior. For the remainder of the series, it almost always had the quad headlight configuration of the 1981 and newer models, with a dark brown interior. The truck usually appeared to be a long bed model, but sometimes a short bed model was used. After destroying several trucks due to the huge jumps, a custom built jump truck was built as a solution. It had a reinforced frame and axles, and a mid-mounted engine. This greatly reduced the number of trucks scrapped during the show's production. At the end of the series, the remaining trucks were either auctioned or given away in a contest. One of them was sold on eBay in 2003.

Re: Any brown trucks out there?
My uncle had a 1982 Scottsdale with that same paint pattern. My cousin still has it, but I don't think it's running anymore. Haven't seen it move in probably 10 years.
Sharp truck! GTT
