Rare color? 556 Dark olive/med olive

How rare is 556 dark olive/medium olive D89 paint stripe. Dark is on top of cab and med is on the rest of the body. I like the color combo but I would rather have the teal/white combo how much value is it loosing changing color?

Re: Rare color? 556 Dark olive/med olive

All of the non white two tones are quite uncommon. Fresh examples of these come up on here from time to time. My K20 is a 557 which is the opposite of yours. I can’t speak for value but if it were me I’d leave it 556, there’s just a certain cool factor that goes with the non white two tones.

Re: Rare color? 556 Dark olive/med olive

They are referred to as “Custom Two Tone” options by GM in this era (ie any two tone that doesn’t have white). Check out this thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=704629
I have a 557 K20, not changing a thing

Here’s a 556 Cheyenne Super K20, if this doesn’t convince you to stay as 556, nothing will.

Some idiot along the way painted half the truck white and half a weird green II started this page to decide if I wanted to keep the truck original color and I think I will. D89 stripe is the white stripe right under the door if im not mistaken.
