Anybody out there got a picture they can post of a 67-69 truck in OEM Light Blue (paint code 12846) or 67-68 truck in OEM Medium Blue Poly (paint code 13363) or 70-72 truck in OEM Medium Blue (paint code 2188)?

Thanks!

John

Meduim blue metallic. Not OEM, but real close.

Ole Blue 68 · 09-29-2006, 12:47 PM

Thanks ChevyRedneck.

PS, Is the paint on the tires OEM?

Here's a picture of one I found on the internet. I have a picture of mine in the original light blue with white top that I compared it to and they're close but not sure if the one in this picture is the original blue or not.

is it me or is that picture of the last truck a little funny.. i mean thats a 68 but i havent seen that side chrome on one before.. its got to be a 69-72 with 67-68 front clip or vise vursa.. i would definatly make it look like one or the other i guess to each there own..
nice truck regardless

I have never seen one of these trucks with a hood ornament. Could this be the rarest of all options?

70-72 truck in OEM Medium Blue (paint code 2188)

Ole Blue 68 · 09-29-2006, 04:51 PM

Thanks 1970 CST, I think that covers the 3 I was looking for. And of course, none of them match mine.

Chevyman680063 · 09-29-2006, 05:06 PM

I went back and looked at the website that I found that truck on and it is a 1971 with a 68 front end on it. I agree with 57sailplane, I don't really like the way that trim looks with the 67/68 front end. Here's a link to the page if you want to see more of that truck.

Not stock. Assembly line never did this. There seems to have been some dealer installed...but not documented. A lot of the older members remember seeing hood ornaments.

1st gen. Monte Carlo hood ornament,according to some old guy I spoke to.

Sweet. Now when the wife asks why that old Monte hood is still propped up against the shed I can answer I'm saving it for the truck.

BTW, it looks like the one on my old hood.

Nice Truck,
Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Did you paint it yourself? I am going to paint my 63 shortwide arrival blue once I get my collapsable paint booth made.
