Ochre twins activate - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**TBONE1964** · 06-21-2013, 08:43 PM

Almost twins but not.

I meet another board member here in Michigan with a 71 C20. Very nice clean truck with some nice options, like a 402 with air

It was nice to meet someone local (within driving distance) and talk about our trucks. Both are Fremont built and have made it to Michigan somehow.

Awsome! I bet people were doing "double takes" when they saw y'all.

Very nice looking trucks. Love the 463 paint. I'll bet you guys did turn some heads.

**TBONE1964** · 06-21-2013, 11:08 PM

Yes after we departed we drove together for about 5 miles and there were a few heads doing a double take. It is fun to watch peoples reactions. I get a lot of compliments and attention by myself but when there are two the same color, it is rare to see.

This is so cool! I have not always liked the Ochre/White color combo but it has since become one of my favorites since we got my son's truck - Nancy.

Looking good. Phil is another board member, and he and I live fairly close to each other. As you can see, our trucks share some similarities. Not quite as twinsies as the two you posted. He's had people tell him they saw him driving in a certain area, but it was actually me. I'm sure they're probably wondering how his paint job went to hell since the last time they saw him lol

Nancy is a nice looking truck too. Thanks for all the comments guys. It makes me wish I could get all of the 463's in one spot at one time, that would be something to see.

You made my day Spartan. I was just waiting for someone to comment on that.

I need to repaint my ochre GMC. Any advice on the color matching. It was repainted by the PO, Pretty much turned out yellow. Now faded yellow that doees not match the cab.

I need to figure out how to match it.

Thanks

What does the inside of the glove box door look like? If it is original and nice you can use it to match the new paint.

If that works, thank board member leddzepp. It was his idea.

Found this site when I was looking to repaint.

www.tcpglobal.com

Ended up using a local MAACO shop who color matched off my door jambs and the codes, I was looking for good driver quality and did a lot of the prep myself.
