I'll jump in. I sold the '80 a couple of years ago, as the '77 was a replacement for it. My '77 is Russet Brown with Buckskin in the middle.

man, yours and mine are close.

Here is my original brown truck, except for the weathered black primer front fenders. After a life of parking outdoors, the color had faded a lot and lost its gloss. This was a shot from the fall of 2009.

And this past fall, I finally got around to some DIY paint.

the new paint was Rustoleum Gloss Leather brown, applied with a roller (and brush in the tighter areas). I spent 2-1/2 days on the project, and around $24 on paint. The rollers to apply it cost more than the paint. Is it perfect, heck no. Is it one consistent color, yes, I have that going for me at least.

Looks a little more like Santa Fe tan in the middle, no? Buckskin is quite a bit darker. Maybe just the pics.

I really like your truck truckfan. Did it come with rally's originally? What color is your interior, buckskin or mandarin orange?

its buckskin, but the '78 I had in HS was mandarin orange. It had full wheel covers and white walls when I got it. The option sheet looks like it came with dog bowls and Blackwalls.

the PO was the original owner. i got the original title, and invoice from the Chevy dealer. its been painted, but its pretty much stock as a rock. i'll post more pics later. i have some great before and afters with the fishing camper on it.

and yes, i believe the center is Santa Fe Tan

Years ago I met Jason Hill at his shop in Lubbock when he was working on the "Red Rocker" he told me that one day he'd build a brown truck, because he remembered from his youth that "they were all brown, or at least had brown on them, right...." Maybe one day he'll crank out a Hill's Hot Rodified Brown Truck. You know it'd be cool.

I've thought for a long time this Fall Guy Painted truck looked awesome. Sorry for the quality. It's a small pic from another site.

nutsforchevys · 03-09-2012, 07:52 PM

Here is a pic of a russet brown / buckskin truck I used to have. It still had the factory brocure with it The tan was listed as buckskin.

|ow|ife · 03-10-2012, 03:56 PM

Does anyone have a pic of a truck with the russet brown as the center stripe?

My truck is Russet top/bottom with the tan center stripe. But since it needs rockers and driver's door I was wondering about reversing the color placement. Thoughts? Pictures? Photochops?

Beautiful. What bumper is on the back of that truck?

**Corts60** · 03-10-2012, 04:06 PM

Also, not trying to harp or be a d*ck truckfan, but when you compare your truck next to this one, you definitely have Santa Fe Tan and not buckskin in your stripe. I am only pointing this out so people are not confused. Buckskin is a much darker color. Both beautiful trucks however.

Dez,

Can you post a profile shot of this truck? I'm debating what colors to go with on my re-paint and was wondering about a cordova/santa fe arrangement like this.

**Desert1957** · 03-12-2012, 11:47 AM

Here are some with and without the flash. looks more Red with the flash, I posted both. Can't get a real good side view right now Garage is too full.
