Need '67-72 Chevy & GMC colors for CCT Spotter's Guide
Alright I got up real early, and started drinking coffee (for the last 10 hours) so now its time to start working on the '67-72 C10 Spotter's Guide for the April 2011 issue of Custom Classic Trucks.
First it will appear in the print edition, and then it will get archived on CCT's website with a link to 67'72ChevyTrucks in the source box. My first question is about paint options for both '67-72 Chevy and GMC trucks. I've checked out the Auto Color Library's paint chips, but I really need to verify what I put into print. I'm guessing White was the most common color, because that's what I remember seeing on the Chevy dealer's truck lots. Am I wrong? if so, which color was the most common? I've owned Omaha Orange, and that was my favorite color until recently when started like Butternut with a white top. What's your favorite factory color? Which factory color is the rarest? If anyone can add anything please chip in. It's time for my nap, but I'll be back... Thank you. |

John check out the following link as it will list all the colors available for each year for Chevrolet/GMC trucks, blazers and burbs. I'm not sure if you will be able to locate the number of trucks released in a specific color, because I doubt they retained that type of record during production.
http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/ (EDIT - Just noticed that you used the same link I posted) Also... if special ordered the factory would paint alternative colors on the trucks so you might receive some off the wall color options as well. I've always liked: Ochre, Light Green (partial), Copper Poly, and Medium Olive Happy fact hunting!

Re: Need '67-72 Chevy & GMC colors for CCT Spotter's Guide
Since you just asked I'll tag on- I was just thinking last night of making a new post of "Rarest Colors and Combinations" - will be interesting to see what pops up!
I like the "Lemon & Lime" combo- but want to see the more obscure like Orange and Black. I don't see many "Dark Copper" like my '70 with original paint. |

I remember a few trucks back in the day that had your dark copper... usually with a white top. |

Re: Need '67-72 Chevy & GMC colors for CCT Spotter's Guide
I think the most popular original color may have been a regional thing, but around here for the '71-72's, medium olive green seems to be what I see, or had seen in the past, the most common.
But my favorite has to be medium blue and white, aslo pretty common. |

What's your favorite factory color? loves me some ochre and white.
Which factory color is the rarest? I think we came to the conclusion a few years ago that pink (only available in Canada iirc) was the "rarest". we have a board member that has a beautiful pink over white in Canada. good luck, John!

How about a poll...we could all plug in our body and interior color, year and make. Hell, we probably cornered the market
