Saddle color trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sodly · 03-29-2012, 11:45 AM

How 'bout some pics of my favorite color on these trucks, Saddle (at least I think that's the name). Does anyone have more pics of this one, for instance? Lets see the nice, saddle trucks in stock configuration. Are there any?

My Goldilocks project is this color, and was offered in '66 only. Danbury Mint had a 1:24 scale model out last year in the same color.

theastronaut · 03-29-2012, 12:14 PM

Here's some I've saved.

theastronaut · 03-29-2012, 12:17 PM

A few more.

I know you like em stock. Other than lacking a set of tall and skinny tires, this is about as pure as they come. 22,000 miles, unrestored, with factory A/C. Pass the drool cup please.

In a perfect world...I'd be sitting in the driver's seat of that with a smile from ear to ear and my arm out the window soaking up the sunshine.

And a bed full of tall/skinny repro vintage tires, on my way to a tire shop! That thing is awesome!! Is that yours, oem4me? Seems like something you'd own!

greg65 · 12-18-2012, 06:28 PM

Ok, one more question. I'm trying to decide between the two colors. Is this truck and suburban fawn or saddle?

in the first pic it looks pretty close, but the second looks totally different (lighter)...just goes to show how much the lighting can throw things off

I have the same model as above but in the Dark Blue and White. Most expensive model I have ever bought:$118 through Danbury Mint

T Smith · 03-29-2012, 12:44 PM

I do love that color!

Surfdaddy · 03-29-2012, 03:26 PM

I've always thought this color is one of the best for these trucks.

**MusicMan70** · 03-29-2012, 05:37 PM

Love these stockers!

duallyjams · 03-29-2012, 08:32 PM

I dig this color I didn't know it was 66 only.

A.T. RockDriller · 03-29-2012, 08:47 PM

That's actually a gorgeous paint scheme.

I can't get over how good that can look.

Refreshing.

BTW....
I'm thinkin it's a hard color to match.....just by lookin

theastronaut · 11-01-2012, 10:49 PM

Came across this pic today.

likaroc13 · 11-01-2012, 11:15 PM

hard to tell with the lighting, but the first truck may be more goldish...i have a couple other pics which also favor the saddle color but also look to have a touch more gold

66farmer · 11-02-2012, 08:30 AM

I think my truck color could fall in the saddle family.
