brown trucks??

[prostreetC-10]

This is going on the lighter side. I believe this is called "saddle". I think Hart Rod's truck is this color also.

[Sicklajoie]

This is a brown and white GMC that I was test driving last year until the timing chain broke.

[dhaymaker]

The PO said this truck was painted in a "custom copper". I dunno'...looks brown to me! lol

^^^ It's got a great stance!

DO IT! I love brown on a truck. I've thought of painting mine Burnished Brown ( original 1969 GM color ) but I also like Shadow Gray. Good way to be different. As stated above, when someone asks what truck is yours and you say the brown one they won't have to look to far to find it.

Mine seems to change colors with different light? 2002 GM Meadowmist Brown. Sometimes looks like Gunmetal Grey?

I've thought of painting mine "Burnish Brown" that GM used in '69. I've always loved that color on a '69 Chevelle and would probably look good on a C10.

Here is my 58 I did in 79 Chev truck brown. It looked sharp but I turned around & sold it. I have a red 56 now.

The original color on our 72 Malibu convertible was Midnight Bronze Metalic which is a beautiful color but not the color my wife chose to paint it .

[cmabolt]

72 Cheyenne - Honda Element root beer.

[flashed]

That Rootbeer color is very close to GM's 72 Midnight Bronze ,that is sharp.

Have never heard of 72 midnight bronze - got a pic? Sounds nice.

I really like the square bodies' browns, ala Sameyrasmea's 80. Considering that route for my 76 which is now orange. But it's orange, and I love orange too. Original paint (with a smashed door, so gotta paint it) and coded as special paint - so I could probably get away with any paint I wanted... But I digress. Here's some brown for ya below (obviously not original - but I LOVED the brown longhorn cheyenne super - it was for sale in Pahrump a few years ago, decent price, but, of course, no room... ):

Dont have a pic of the Midnight Bronze ,I have only seen one 72 Chevelle restored with that color and it was sharp .Our 72 Malibu convertible was already painted a different color when we first got it and I could not convince my wife to take it back to that color .She picked Fire Red Metalic which is a burgandy color which is nice too.

I just came across this thread, this is a mix of dark and medium beechwood (gm). With some red added

[TheFix]

Here's mine. Just finished the suspension and disc brakes. The original color was saddle.

[Lancialonnie]

I really like my metallic brown truck with a metallic goldish roof.

[12secondnova]

Heres mine I just bought a few weeks ago. Not sure the exact color but I love the brown on these trucks

[hdff]

Here is one of my favorite brown trucks!!!

[jsera]

Here's the original brown my 72 came in, more of a copper if you ask me. I updated it to a burnt orange.

[68Stepbed]

I'd like to see this brown used on something.

That brown is NICE. If I paint a truck brown its definitely going either that color or 69 gm burnished brown

[Tumbleweed1C4]

Well, I guess I will have to join in here. It is originally Ochre but PO painted it GM Rootbeer brown with cream roof.

[Grumpy old man]

Not many Chevies with doo doo Brown paint that was a Ford thing get the picture ?
