John Deere Green - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I don't care if you are a John Deere fan or not. This truck is kind of neat. I can't say I would drive it but it's different. I have never seen one with the green and yellow.

I used to have an '80 K20 flatbed that I apinted by myself. total cost of $20 including the 4" brush & razor blades. my color of choice was Ford Blue tractor paint. that implement paint is cheap!

GO DUCKS!!!

Stanford · 01-10-2005, 11:07 PM

I have honestly thought about painting my flatbed with a combination of John Deere green and yellow, just not sure what pattern. I know, I know, Im a redneck.

CHEVYE · 01-10-2005, 11:11 PM

i think it`s kind of cool for a 4wd playtoy. everyone in town would definetally know it when you said "my john deere truck"

*HerLonghorn71* · 01-10-2005, 11:13 PM

I don't think it looks too bad at all!!

hobby67stepside · 01-10-2005, 11:25 PM

I prefer my JD green and yellow here:

68C15 · 01-10-2005, 11:34 PM

man, there is some money sitting on that trailer!

hobby67stepside · 01-10-2005, 11:48 PM

Only the rear one is mine. This pic was taken about 2 yrs ago unloading in front of my place.

chipflyer · 01-11-2005, 12:19 AM

I like my green and yellow just a little bit older!

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 01-11-2005, 01:00 AM

Those colors rock, you can't go wrong with 'em.

Stanford · 01-11-2005, 01:19 AM

Jeff, thats a good looking old tractor. It's an A right or is it a B Model. I still don't have my old John Deere's down yet.

Jeremy_5 · 01-11-2005, 01:28 AM

I like that truck, pretty high price though

**GSFMECH** · 01-11-2005, 02:10 AM

Looks like a unstyled D to me, a little over 500 cubes out of 2 cylinders.

1969 GMC · 01-11-2005, 03:43 AM

I like the colors on the truck, but I think they should have painted the roof yellow so it would be like the regular 2 tone paint that was on these trucks. I just think it would look better.

67ChevyRedneck · 01-11-2005, 09:25 AM

I LOVE that truck.

chipflyer · 01-11-2005, 09:40 AM

It's a 1930 unstyled D. I went completley through it and painted it myself, it is kind of fun to run around the place, but asphalt is a no no.

71Chevy4-speed · 01-11-2005, 03:17 PM

SWEET! Like the truck and love the tractors, wish I had a digital camera, I have around I have a few thousand dollars worth of 1:18th scale John Deeres that I started collecting before I can remember, b-day and X-mas gifts etc.

My Boy's Toy · 01-11-2005, 09:39 PM

This is good, Last year I saw a 69 That was painted green & yellow , talked to the owner & he said it at one time belonged to his dad for his John Deere Dealership , he bought it new . next time down that way I'll take some Picks.

**chevy71super** · 01-12-2005, 02:08 PM

Not to offend anyone but sorry guys the yellow/green on the truck in my opinion is ugly. Better than most but ugly. I saw a house in Washington painted the same color, looked pretty bad. The color looks good on tractors but for some reason doesn't transfer well to other vehicles.

Dean · 01-12-2005, 05:13 PM

Nice looking JD D. I have a restored 1927 model D that my grandfather used to use. You are right about doing some major destruction on hard surfaces. Mine even has extension rims all the way around...
