Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
Put a burgundy stripe above the body line looked good.
Great truck too went 317k before we sold it.

Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
When I was picking my Burb up and saw the interior I thought it was a mistake. Once I realized it was as ordered I wished I had gone with the saddle. But I got used to it. Whoever at GM decided to call it red was color blind......

Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
I would have tactfully explain how "uncrowded" it was walking if they disliked the colors that much,,, but I'm kinda an a$$ when it comes to things like that!
Might have something to do with no ladies in my life,,,

Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
I always thought this GMC was an interesting combination, light yellow/white top with green interior and a factory stake bed.

Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
I'm straining my eyes trying to read that SPID. Is the flatbed listed and is the model# for cab & chassis?

Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
I always figured GM did those Medium Olive/Grapefruit and Light Green/Light Yellow combos for the "more mature" owners. That is a throwback to the '50s combination. You know, the long bed trimmed out pickup with narrow whitewalls and the red edge of the rim showing around the wheelcover... either factory or off some Chevy car.

Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
Hey Joe, where did you find that truck? That's the same one I started this thread about. I know my friend bought it in NC and brought it to PA. My guess is it's for sale again, but that's not his place in the pictures. So I'm thinking it may be getting flipped again. It was not listed for dale when my friend found it, and here's the story:
My friend is in NC to buy an all original '67 CST/10 lwb from original owner. The truck had 69-72 wheel covers so he asks the seller if he still had the originals. The man tells him he swapped with a friend, and told him to stop by to see if he'd let them go. So my friend finds the place and there sat this gold '70. My friend tells the guy his buddy told him he should stop by and buy this truck... just to be silly. The old feller names a price! So the following week my friend is hustling back down that hiway to haul back this truck

Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
Here’s that truck if you were interested in it. I could get a number for you.

Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
I don't have pictures because I was a young man and it was my Dad's truck but he had a '76 Silvarado that had a medium green body,light green roof and insert with a dark red almost burgundy interior. Truck had never been repainted and everyone would comment on the color combo. Chevy did some unusual combinations.

Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
Thanks Joe. Yeah, that's my friend Jason's. I thought maybe it was the next guy selling it. I thought he already sold it. He got that one when looking at another one in NC.

Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
this qualifies as an odd exterior/interior color combo in my book

Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
Over the years I would think up odd combinations that were possible in these trucks and figured even though you could, who would? And never did see any. Now here I am seeing them here. They are real!! I also thought up nice ones you didn't see together that are stunning, and if I've seen them here it's still very few.
One I'd like to see is Medium Blue with Saddle. Sounds yucky but who knows? Brown belt and boots look good with jeans. Brown shirt, too! Have we had Red with Olive? How about Medium Olive with Red? Like a pimento stuffed olive.

Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
I don’t recall seeing black with medium green interior. All I think of is the Tri Fives in that combo.

Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
About 15 years ago I had a black 1972 C30 cab and chassis dually, just a custom with the medium green interior. I’ll look for a picture. It was odd looking
