What about Purple?
Has any member seen Purple 1969 Pickups ? This truck has been painted once , but still has the original paint inside the cab and firewall etc in excellent condition. I believe they were strictly Canadian trucks only in 1969. The glove box label says only "Special Paint".

![]() They had it in 1970 as well. its a two owner, the guy bought it in the late 70s, and its the original paint. i remember my old boss at a body shop i used to work at told me about them coming from the factory purple, i didnt believe him till it showed up in auto class.

I've heard various theories as to why, like a fleet order that fell through, but don't know why Sask has them exclusively.

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
I guess it would fairly scarce. I've never seen one. It was an color choice in '68.

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
I see you have posted the color chip sheets for 1967and 1968. If you ( or anyone else) have them for 69-70-71-72 I'm sure a lot of us would appreciate you posting them so we can archive them on our computers.

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
It`s hard to say if that`67 was painted the "correct" silver,but I believe that was the intent.I`ve seen original silver trucks,but that color didn`t hold up too long in the sun.I think it`s rarest on`69s.
That Dark Green is actually Woodland Green,a color that hasn`t changed since way way back.It`s in and out of color selections over the years,but is also a permanent Fleet Color,like Omaha Orange.

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
I would have to agree the "Ice Corl" is rare.The other that hasn't been mentioned that i have seen very few of is an "Aqua"The 67 chart doesn't show it so it may be a single year color only.

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
I've been eyeballing a 55 chevy I saw online in a 70 'vette color. "Donnybrook Green". Very unique. I like that Flatz OD green they put on the F-Bomb Camaro too...

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
well now that I know that the silver poly is kinda rare, the 68 swb 2wd I have that I was going to clone a 50th truck with was 523 silver poly with bright red int., and after seeing it on the one owner truck above which looks very nice I may have to rethink my plans. What do ya'll think keep it silver with red int. or not?

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
A guy I went to school with had a, I think 70 model that was about 8 different colors. He pieced the truck together from a bunch of different ones I think, we called it the Jigsaw. Was a neat truck though

Ladies and gents, OH! GREEN. And yes, it is very loud in person. Hopefully this summer I can fix this thing.

I bought a Lime Green Ploy 71 customC10 just like that one out of Regina not long ago. I just picked up all the parts to fix the usual rust on it. I hope to be driving mine this summer sometime as well. Good luck with yours. Richard
