Jocko - The glove box just lists the paint as Olive. The truck has been repainted once and judging by the interior, which is original, it is a really good match. Thanks for the compliment. The paint is really not that great of a job, but it looks good in pictures and I get a lot of compliments on it. It will need a re-paint in a year or two.

dude stop with all these pics I can't take it that's it I'm goin green and putting a white hat on it that is whenever I find a decent cab !!

[hareball]

My 70 C10 402bb. Factory PS, PB, AC, tach, gauges. Haven't had it long, don't even have good pics yet! Still trying to figure out what the original paint might have been. Was definitely medium olive with white cab, but not sure if that white stripe on the side would have been there. Also, the black trim seems to be very poorly painted by hand and is way too glossy. Same on the grille. I'd love to know...

Current project is interior strip, clean, lizardskin.

Its actually pretty easy. What code is on your SPID for the paint? That will tell us the the color/s and placement.

The black on the grill/trim was a very low gloss satin black.

Thanks Tim.
It says 534 white and med olive.

[SS Tim]

Pretty much what I expected. 534 is a Conventional Two-Tone of a 504 med olive green and a 521 white roof. The 400 series Deluxe Two-Tone (white between the bodyside moldings) came along in 71 but was backfitted to a number of trucks.
Of course there is also the correct for your year 588 Special Two-Tone that had a white roof and white below the lower bodyside molding with a medium olive body color. This was often seen on Suburbans like mine here (31 years ago!).

[picklito]

Thanks so much! So green everywhere except roof? Pretty happy to hear that, it's one of my favorites. What about it having both upper and lower trim moulding? It's a Z84 sport truck with 600 black vinyl trim if that makes any difference (has a black rather than olive glove box door).

[picklito]

Will do. Thx!

How much did you lower this beauty? What suspension did you use? Thanks

Here is one I owned for 2 weeks! I bought itin Illinois while visiting my folks for thanksgiving. Got bored and got on Craigslist and found her. Wife thought I was crazy to drive an unknown truck 1200 miles back to Houston the next day. I made it home no problem and after turning into my driveway from the long trip a guy pulls in right behind me and states he is going to buy that truck!

Shot him a price that made me some money and darned if he didn't bite on it.

I regret selling it that fast as I didn't really get to have any fun with it.

Haha great story! It took me a year and a half to find mine...with a little selective buying of course. All I found prior were shot up frames and rust buckets or overpriced. Funny how things turn out though!

[Justin@EntropyRad]

Great color for the trucks! Is it sacrilege to paint them other OE colors? Chrysler Rescue Green Effect is one of my favorite olive green colors.

[Already Gone]

Here is my original Highlander. I picked it up in South Dakota last fall and its in storage till Spring.

[Max1775]

Somebody did a shade tree paint job on this one, but she will get a proper painting in the future.

How 'bout some dark/med olive trucks? Haven't seen too many in this particular combination with med olive on top. Is this an uncommon combo?

EDIT: According to the SPID it's actually Dark Olive/Med Olive 557
