ext/int color combo I've never seen before!
Not that I'd have ordered it this way from the factory (black with olive interior), but it's proof positive that you could combine any exterior color with any interior trim color you wanted back in the day. Really nice truck (ebay), jury still out on the interior color for me - but it is very nice, and I think it's a very interesting piece of chevy truck history! Ok, the color combo IS growing on me I think! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...1c4e3e5d#v4-42
Just noticed a black with blue interior one the other day also (still on ebay I think), however owner re-did the black ext in metalflake black. Last edited by jocko; 04-15-2012 at 10:51 PM. |

Re: ext/int color combo I've never seen before!
I saw that truck on Kc Craigslist a month or so ago. Looks really nice! Probably been babied for last several years. If she had tach on spid, that would be hell of an optioned truck!

Re: ext/int color combo I've never seen before!
Hey Jocko, don't mean to hi-jack your thread, but there is a 64-66 that I see on base at the Marine Det that looks like the truck in your avatar. Is it yours?

Re: ext/int color combo I've never seen before!
My father-in-law now owns a 72 that came from the factory in hugger orange and a white top with olive interior. The story was that his friend went to the dealer and ordered the truck new. The truck was supposed to be orange/white with a black interior but when they were going down the option sheet, the box for black and olive were close to each other and either olive got checked by mistake or the carbons were misaligned and on the carbons that went to the factory looked like olive was checked. Either way the truck showed up and the friend needed it asap so he took it as is. Apparently the friend hated the color combo so much he sold it to my FIL a year later cheap. My FIL had the seat recovered and sprayed the door panels and has had it ever since.

Re: ext/int color combo I've never seen before!
I think with an all black or an all white truck almost any color will work with the interior. I like this one.

Re: ext/int color combo I've never seen before!
I like it! I don't think I've seem the combo before,but have thought about it to be different...yet nice! I don't think I've seen a white truck with olive interior,either.

Re: ext/int color combo I've never seen before!
I'm not too crazy about the black/olive green color combo choice but truck is nice. I doubt the color combo are original though. I would suspect the truck may have been olive green and cab stripped an painted black. I did something similar with my aqua 69 about 20 years ago except I didn't strip the whole cab on the inside. It looked ok.

Re: ext/int color combo I've never seen before!
According to the SPID it is original. The spid looks original and if the truck was restored in 1994, nobody back then could make a SPID that looked correct.

I double checked with the seller and he says it was ordered that way and SPID is original. Anyone submit a bid yet? |

Re: ext/int color combo I've never seen before!
Tim, The White with Olive looks great! Once saw Suburban for sale that way. Probably the strangest I've seen is Ochre with Blue interior and it was on the SPID.

Re: ext/int color combo I've never seen before!
68gmsee - just to be clear, I was replying to jbclassix's earlier post when I said "that would be me" - I'm not bidding on the black ext/olive int truck. When I re-read it, if you missed the quote, you'd probably assume I was answering your question just because my post fell in line immediately behind yours. SOMEone should bid on it though!
72 K5 - for the life of me, I can't picture hugger orange with an olive interior ![]() |

Re: ext/int color combo I've never seen before!
Actually,there were blank SPIDs and people duplicating SPIDs (with correct type) over 20 years ago as I recall. But,I believe that's an original SPID. I have no reason to doubt it. First,it's a nice looking combo if you as me. And second,the fact is you could get absolutely any color paint with any color interior. There was no restricting that back then. I have brochures that state it.
