Orange 67-72s? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

muddpile · 01-06-2005, 01:01 AM

Thanks N2Trux, there were a few more good ones in there. These trucks seem to look excellent in orange. Mine (72) seems to resemble a hugger orange color. Was that a stock color?

HeavyD · 01-06-2005, 01:23 AM

U bet. According to the Autocolor library online the 1972 code on your golvebox should be code 524.

Your truck looks great. How about you take some shots and tell us what you have in that great looking interior and gauge setup in your truck.

Beatup69 · 01-07-2005, 12:47 AM

Here is my truck.

**too much stuff** · 01-07-2005, 12:56 AM

Had to join in on this one! The shortbox is my wifes and mine is the 4x4. Mine is really orange and WHITE right now.

454_72_4X4 · 01-07-2005, 02:16 AM

Mine's orange too, red orange according to the glovebox.

I wanna do the SS Chevelle stripes on mine someday.

Are talking about this one?

I'm not positive of the color but I've been using this truck for inspiration on mine. I'm painting mine tanger orange (paint code wa9417).
This is mine

Here is my hugger orange 71 Cheyenne that I had restored back to stock with my nephew standing next to it about 10 years ago. I sold it to a guy that reworked into what you see here. It's pretty slick, running on bags, 20's and a LT-1.

**GSFMECH** · 01-08-2006, 07:09 AM

Never knew Orange could look so good...

71SWBChevy · 02-28-2006, 12:21 AM

Man all these Orange trucks have me wanting to get mine back together and back to Hugger Orange!!!!

These trucks do look KILLER in most all shades of orange

Orange '71 GMC · 03-16-2006, 09:15 AM

A few days late...but I was just browsing this forum looking for some 2/4 drop pics and came across this thread.

I am going to be getting some better pics soon, but here's a few for now.

The color is a Valspar Orange. It is called..."Orange."
I have the code the mix #'s. It took me forever to get it where I wanted it. There wasn't a shade that I liked really. The closest that I liked to it was the Tangier and the Tangelo oranges - but I wanted something different.

In different light, this color will look a little bit lighter. It is VERY bright orange.

Here's somewhat of interior pic...an old one...

I just covered and repadded the old bench seat in black leather. It also GMC stiched in it.

**hevy_chevy67** · 03-18-2006, 07:20 PM

Heres my beast. Its more of an orange-red, but has faded a bit to an orange.

That bed is awesome. With no ribs it looks like the bed has a few feet of orange paint poured in it!

**Ron 586** · 01-19-2007, 03:21 PM

1972 C/10 stock red orange color. Interior shot is color not faded.

hntreric · 01-19-2007, 05:27 PM

sounds like I got the same issue has you. Do you put it back to the original or get rid of the trim and paint it all orange. If you are looking for the original trim check out lmc.com they have everything to do a restore. good luck
