Re: Lets see Ochre and White trucks
Got the leaky roof fixed in my barn; that's why she's wet, otherwise, she only sees sunny days.
Sierra Grande w/402, auto, PS, PB, and A/C. Nothing too exotic, but looks stunning and runs great. She's my absolute favorite out of all the trucks I own, not only for the colors, but that she's a GMC.

Re: Lets see Ochre and White trucks
Here is my '72. What I think is hilarious is the factory olive green interior with the ochre. Not really sure about that fashion statement.

Re: Lets see Ochre and White trucks
Here is my new factory white/ochre/white/ochre 1971 SWB BB Cheyenne hidden beneath a bad 1980s repaint. I swear that someday it will fly its original colors again....

Re: Lets see Ochre and White trucks
Tristan
That reminds me of a recent conversation with the women next door. Neighbor: "so you ever going to paint this thing?" Me: "I don't know I may eventually repaint it the original color" Neighbor: "Why wouldn't you paint it black?" Some people just don't get it, it's an ochre thing. I didn't want to get into the fact I spent 2 years looking for an ochre truck that hadn't be resprayed black (or some other color) back in the 80's

Re: Lets see Ochre and White trucks
Here is mine. Ochre is a color that has grown on me....in fact.....it has grown on me all my life. My truck was owned by my dad 2 years before I was born.

Re: Lets see Ochre and White trucks
Had to click on this thread to see what ochre is. Turns out it's one of my favorites!

Re: Lets see Ochre and White trucks
we used to call it "baby $hit yellow" until my cousin bought a nice original paint K20 and when it shines it is a beautiful color.

Re: Lets see Ochre and White trucks
These colors wouldn’t work on any other vehicle. They look stunning on these trucks. It just works!

I've had that problem with mine, ever since my son had the truck painted. He did get the bed floor Rhino-Lined, but I wish the tailgate and sides were done. For nearly 30 years before that, I hauled anything and everything in that bed, from bricks to dirt bikes.

wasn't intended to look as nice as it turned out, just meant to be durable two coats of epoxy and 6 coats of spar varnish  and even though we haul wood and brush with it, we take care not to scratch or gouge it the rake teeth in the last picture are off the back of the bed

Re: Lets see Ochre and White trucks
I really like your OE-looking trucks. I've had mine since 1989 when it was bone stock with narrow steel wheels and a 307. If I could turn the clock back, I'd probably keep it as near stock as possible. It didn't have A/C, so I'm not sure what I could have done about that.
Present day:
