Title says it all!! Here is an example :

useRc10 · 04-15-2003, 12:49 AM

like most colors, when it is waxed and clean it looks sweet

1971 Cheyenne · 04-15-2003, 01:03 AM

For me, you have to grow on it, My mom Hates ochre, and my girlfreind is the same way. I think it's a great color though! Probably cause my 71 is Ochre, and i love that thing to death. Whatever.. OCHRE IS DA SH!T!

Hutch · 04-15-2003, 01:08 AM

Not my first preference but over the years it has started to grow own me.
There are a lot of trucks and cars from the late sixties and seventies that were the original greens and yellows that have been reprayed to more popular colors for the times.
Now they are the rare colors.

O'l Buck · 04-15-2003, 01:32 AM

I've always liked ochre, espescially on a cheyene super trimed out in white.

casey · 04-15-2003, 01:37 AM

I think it looks sweet, its not a yellow that hurts the eyes, what a super clean blazer,

Thanks Casey. I used to not particularly care for Ochre but after I found this Blazer it kinda grew on me.

It's not my favorite color, but like was said by useRC10...anything that is clean and waxed looks good. Blazer looks real nice.

lukecp · 04-15-2003, 10:02 AM

I love the color. I am proud to have it on my truck. When i first got it i hated it, but now i love it.

**nightmare** · 04-15-2003, 10:08 AM

it's ok, not my personal preference, but to each his own.

da-burb · 04-15-2003, 01:00 PM

I don't think you have to guess very hard where I stand on the color! And all the years I have owned this color, women have always hated the color. I think it is a childhood refrigerator/dish washer/ stove flashback issue. All I can say is, Thank god it isn't avacado green!

71-longbed · 04-15-2003, 01:06 PM

here ochre for ya

HotRod929 · 04-15-2003, 01:12 PM

When I first got my truck I thought it was ugly as heck. But it has deffinatly grown on me and I love it now.

It looks pretty good, but I wouldn't paint my truck that color.

67cst · 04-15-2003, 07:20 PM

i like any color these trucks came with

mtdave2 · 04-15-2003, 08:29 PM

i like the color when its in good shape and shiny..
the other good thing about ochra is it was popular with the older guys back then.. that means, those trucks usualy got taken care of better.. most the ochra trucks i have seen have been in better shape than other colors... strange huh

MU72 · 04-15-2003, 08:30 PM

Gotta love that color. Kinda funny da-burb, women don't mind my truck

yellowgmc · 04-15-2003, 09:17 PM

it's an ok colour, but i wouldn't go so far as beautiful tho!

Solver · 04-15-2003, 09:58 PM

Not my favorite either but for originality you sure arn't gonna find alot of other vehicles runnig around that color. My daily driver is ochre.

70CST1 · 04-15-2003, 10:05 PM

NOT MY FAVORITE C0OLOR BUT THAT BLAZER SHURE DOUES LOOK GOOD.

casey · 04-16-2003, 10:46 PM
