I have never seen an ochre gmc truck in the same ochre and white chevy theme, I'm wanting to know if anyone has seen something like this.

Now that you mention it I don't believe I have either, or atleast can't remember it.

Ochre is a great color, but I am not sure if it will look ok on a GMC

68panelman · 01-05-2012, 01:00 PM

I owned a orche 72' jimmy back in 92, Seen some on this site too, Sure they'll chime in soon also.

Brad, how much for the glovebox door off that baby? Thats loaded!

Here is one i found for sale locally.

**RenoKeene** · 01-05-2012, 01:50 PM

Hey Glen, that door is resting comfortably in 'Rose'. I was able to peel off the SPID, I'll send it to you if you want it. You could glue it on another door pretty easily. Your already going to have pieces from that truck on yours anyway

Email is on its way sir.

You know it's funny,I have a saddle interior for my '72 GMC and want to paint it some color in the gold-brown spectrum. There's nice polys but I thought about toning it down with a common color in a solid,like Ochre. I think it would look really good and my end up doing that yet. I never say or decide till it's time to buy paint,though. I realized that would be very uncommon because I coudn't recall seeing an Ochre GMC. I like the idea of doing something that looks like GM did but they didn't. That's my kind of custom. Anyway,I went and looked up the paint charts and saw that in 71/72 Ochre was a Chevy-only color. So,I'm surprised to see these GMCs with Ochre paint. Yet another exception to the rule. Check out a PPG paint chart and see for yourself.

68panelman · 01-05-2012, 03:09 PM

There was a board member here with a 72 jimmy 4 sale here awhile back that was original and ochre, Think he had a pickup also the same color. From N or S Carolina?

black_sheep454 · 01-05-2012, 03:10 PM

^^^that explains why you don't see many^^^

^^^^ damn thats a nasty lookin machine^^^^

68panelman · 01-05-2012, 03:26 PM

My guess is that unless we worked in the factory at that time, who knows what they did, Paint charts and actual records are two different things, I don't believe they cared to much about the gmcs over chevys, thats why the gmcs' don't have much paper trails with them.

**leddzepp** · 01-05-2012, 03:31 PM

I saw a 71 Jimmy yesterday that was painted Ochre....do not know if it was factory or a repaint, but it looked gooood.

**special-K** · 01-05-2012, 04:09 PM

Paint charts are accurate. I have yet to see one wrong. They are the one resource that has run continually since day one. Isn't it what we all go by?

I don't know about all that.

68panelman · 01-05-2012, 05:32 PM

I may have placed my words wrong, I know a man like you Specialk, knows these trucks inside & out, Just saying that gmcs really were not recorded as much as the chevys were. I was not disagreeing with paint charts, just saying that unless we worked in the factory they could easily been painted ochre also. If i had the photos from 92' of my ochre jimmy, then it could be proved.

Maybe my words didn't come out right or you just need to read them again. I don't need proof. I know there were exceptions. But,Ochre was a Chevy Truck color in 71/72. I'm saying they kept all records the same...Chevy Truck,GMC,Chevy cars,Pontiac,Olds,Buick,Cadillac...it's all GM. There was never any less regard for GMCs than Chevy Trucks I can assure you.

I brought home a GMC ochra and white parts truck once that was a short bed, fleet side, big block. I would have loved to see it new
