Here is my 83. It was originally a solid red truck. Not sure of the paint code, however it is a GM paint code, just a little brighter than the factory color.

my 89. It was blue when it was original but it was bought by a fire department and so now its fire house red.

meatwagon83 · 02-15-2013, 01:11 AM

not sure of the code or name, but its red! its my brother in laws truck

moneyeater · 02-15-2013, 12:45 PM

Sorry i missed this!
My truck was delivered in white and then painted black to sell better over here and i bought it because it blinded me!
My favorit color is red so i decided to get spanish red from ford europe!
It is not an original paint for american trucks.
They call it radiant red on the ford vans and utes!

So far a lot of beautiful reds. I think the Apple Red is OE red on a lot of our trucks. Now the spanish red is a new red for me. First time I heard of it. But a nice color.

rollin thunder · 02-15-2013, 01:07 PM

here is mine, 72 apple Red ( well was

) It was a dark enough day it looks red, usually it looks orange she will go back to the apple red though for sure.

Love that color that is pretty dank

that too is super cool, how hard is the conversion? ive been thinking of gathering parts to do it

ToughBowtieTruck · 02-18-2013, 12:58 AM

International Harvester Red! Painted myself! Well, every single thing you see I did myself!

When my (now late) uncle bought it brand new in 1977:

He gave it to me when I was 11 (albeit rusted out and non-running). This is the shape it was in when I was 16:

I am now 25 and this is what I've managed to make of it (The gooseneck is my current trailer):

4.10 gears, and a 355 power house I built in High School auto shop. Sitting in front of the sm465 creeper gear 4 speed and NP 205, both of which I overhauled as well. There isn't anything this truck won't do!
