Anyone have a 1971ish Fremont truck with original deluxe paint scheme? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Deluxe paint scheme meaning the secondary color along the side with moldings. Deluxe may not even matter, it's probably as simple as two tone since the window frame is a secondary color.

I think I read there was a variance along the door and/or window frame based on the factory it came from. Hoping to find pictures for correct Fremont, specifically a deluxe paint scheme if it matters. That said the cab is already painted permanent (pics), so it may already be beyond Fremont. Looks right to me.

Thank you

Best I can do. Fremont 2/71
PO painted over the factory paint, same colors,...after removing the side trim and filling the mounting holes.
UHG!

This thread touches on paint break variations for the door but has some cab photos: https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...ight=Cab+paint

Thanks Pete, I looked all over last night and couldn't find that thread. I knew it existed, but, oh well.

Mud those pictures answered my question about he upper door frame. It is exactly as I remember it, but for some reason I didn't take pictures of the door frame.

Thanks all, and that thread post #7 is a ringer. Pete, I think it was you I'd heard say there was a difference.

My 72 Super is one of a few three tone (COUGH!) Chevy's. Someone put a strip of white between the separators. It's a Fremont truck as well, but the doors don't match any factory

Perfect!
