Was Hugger Orange a factory color option for 1969 trucks? Any pictures of SPIDS?? Thanks.

I'm unsure if it was Hugger orange, but there are factory orange trucks here, even some '69s.

From looking at this color chart it looks like they just called it orange in 69.

I think of`69 when I hear Hugger Orange,but prolly from Camaros.But,it wasn`t on trucks until`70.It`s code # is 534.It was also called Red Orange.The orange in`69 was 516.

when i think hugger orange i also think 69 camaro firebird color. it is different than the truck "hugger orange" in my opinion the camaro color is nicer a little redder and darker

I understand that the red/orange in '69 is the same as the later hugger orange.

This reminds me of an epesode of 'TRUCKS' with Stacy David talking about the 'SS' 496 silverado that Terry Delong built(wow.. all from memory).

He called it Grabber Orange in the show. Here is a write up in Sport Truck

Man I love these trucks...

**special-K** · 03-06-2009, 03:12 PM

I don`t believe ther was a Red Orange in`69.Red Orange is the same as Hugger Orange.There was Yellow,Dark Yellow,Orange,Flame Red,and Red.`69 had alot of 1 year colors.

**rockc** · 03-06-2009, 03:51 PM

I thought hugger orange was only avilable in the 72 models. What color of orange was the 327-350 motors back then?

No, my '70 Blazer and a '71 Cheyenne I have both have Hugger Orange on the SPID.

71 super · 03-06-2009, 09:50 PM

My brother had a 70 that was red/orange and white deluxe two tone. It was really hugger orange.

**JQ-72** · 03-06-2009, 11:00 PM

OK, does anyone have a picture of a SPID on a 1969 truck with any kind of orange paint? I'm trying to get the correct code for this color.

Sweet truck - I love that color combo.

**special-K** · 03-07-2009, 09:20 AM

No SPID,but here`s the chart:

Too small,but I think the `69 Orange is just Omaha Orange,the fleet color that is still the same.Think Allied Van Lines,Asplundt,Roadway,or Yellow.Go to www.autocolorlibrary.com and see #516.

caminokid · 03-07-2009, 02:07 PM

I hear Hugger Orange I think Chevelles. 70 SS Chevelle.

EyeH8the24 · 03-07-2009, 02:11 PM

my 70 has hugger orange an the spid ...and its getting the same color back on it ...

Hook'em · 03-07-2009, 04:15 PM

Well, based upon that chart and my SPID I was wrong. My truck is red and white.
