You all know whats best... the ochre/white combo on a Cheyenne!!!

da-burb · 06-02-2002, 11:42 PM

I am very surprised by the number of OCHRE lovers out there. A few years ago you would only find myself and Jeff(CPNE) out there fighting for the squash, baby poop colored trucks of the world. I have 2 suburbans and one long bed in THE BEST COLOR ever.

oleblue72 · 06-03-2002, 06:24 AM

blue. of course
I think I'm in love with 72chevyLWB's truck

dubie · 06-03-2002, 09:07 AM

Hugger orange, gloss black, or a 2 tone Blue with white look best on these trucks. IMO

Durwood · 06-03-2002, 10:17 PM

Color? Mmm, does rust count?

Paul Clark · 06-06-2002, 09:47 PM

All of these colors look great!
Interested in those with the Dodge blue color.
Believe it is Intense Blue Pearl from a 98 Dodge.
Paint code number I think is PB3. Base/clear.
My question is the LWB looks to be a lighter color than the stepside. Could just be the camera setting, light, etc. But - which picture comes closest. Lighter or darker?
Thanks
Paul

First choice would be orange and white

Second choice olive and white

Third choice blue and white

Just my 2 cents, ROB

jhwkns · 06-09-2002, 01:59 PM

I'm going to paint mine white again. Maybe 2-tone seafoam/white

lukecp · 06-09-2002, 02:24 PM

My truck is Ochre, and i love it! I really used to hate the color, but it kinda grew on me

. Even though i have comtenplated painting it a different color...it is gonna stay ochre. The other good colors on these trucks are Hugger Orange, Black, and Dark Metallic Green. Red is OK, but about 6 out of 10 of these trucks seem to be red.

I just did my '69 stepside with get this...a Ford color! (it's the only thing Ford that will go on it though)

It's called Grabber blue and was used from 1970-78 or so on Mustangs and trucks/vans. There's no mistaking my truck when you see it coming at ya. LOL

You'll have to excuse the quality of the pic. My scanner sucks! Hoping to get a digital camera soon. The blue is actually much brighter than this pic.
