I think he sold it a few years ago though... but, if the name matches the current seller, then i am mistaken, or it simply didn't sell. I remember he was askin quite a bit though.

Canada also got some Lime Green trucks like the one Heavy D has.

To answer the question, I gotta say the truck makes the color. When these trucks are nice, they look good in almost any color.

I think ludwig wanted one.
Ice Corral Pink... that's the GM name for it.

there was a factory pink truck if you can believe it. only released in Canada, and was called champagne if i remember right.

to me, some colors just don’t work on our trucks. i saw a shade of purple that was just awful.

I think the color makes the these trucks or others. I know some era correct trucks are sharp from the purist point of view. I for one am not. A black, red, orange or white truck is set apart from the rest. The factory blues, greens, and some others makes just a 67-72. Take a black or red and set the blues and greens at a show or parkin' lot and see which draws the most looks. Much less sellin' one. Now I'm not slammin' a OEM look. Just sayin' you give me a blue, green, ochre, or 2-tone to build. A color change is at the top of the list.
