I had a one owner, untouched, St Louis built, Cheyenne Super. It had "Hugger Orange" hand written in crayon on the cowl and said Red Orange on the SPID.

Re: POLL: What color is the original color of your 1972 Truck?

Our results after a week are somewhat surprising. Particularly Black! I really thought there would be far more Ochre and Firebolt, as well as the darker greens. Oddly, there were soo many that pointed out the "Hugger Orange" yet there was just one vote for that color - Firebolt 524!

Another interesting thing is Dark Blue vs. Medium Blue - the colors are soo close, one kinda wonder's what GM was thinking when they put the color pallet together - yet Medium Blue clearly is the winner here so far.
