Odd color combo. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

see ten · 01-21-2008, 02:42 AM

OK I think I've got one here I've never seen but somebody always manages to pull another out of their arse so let's see. The owner said the roof of this truck was originaly medium olive. The yellow looks original to the truck. I've never seen a yellow green combo. The truck also looks like a good start to a project. The seller did a good job with his description and his pics. More sellers should be this detailed.

There is a yellow and green 68 here . All origional very unusual !!!!! I will try to get some pics of it when it gets warmer!!!

see ten · 01-21-2008, 03:01 AM

I knew someone would have seen one before!

Bob 68327 · 01-21-2008, 06:08 AM

All I can say is once you see this color combo you will never forget it. It kinda makes me thow up alittle in my mouth . I will get some pics of it for you!!

hotrod 80 · 01-21-2008, 06:20 AM

A good friend of mine had a 1971 cheyanne super in that color combo in high school ( mid 80's ). It was a 350 auto fully loaded . Super clean , low miles , all original . The timing chain broke and his dad had it hauled off .

**special-K** · 01-21-2008, 06:27 AM

Other than white,medium olive is shown as an accent color available with dark olive or light yellow(grapefruit) in reversed combinations as well.I know there were other colors produced,but they are an exception to the price list.

PanelDeland · 01-21-2008, 08:17 AM

I've seen dark olive with a yellow roof.I think the one you posted must have been a dealer COPO.Maybe a John Deere dealer?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 01-21-2008, 11:42 AM

Yuck.................

**JQ-72** · 01-21-2008, 11:59 AM

Here's some scans from a 1972 GMC Colors & Trims dealer book. All colors were available in the deluxe 2 tone schemes (white/body color/white/body color). The close up scan shows the custom two tone combos - gotta love the 70's!! Also, a glovebox door from a '71 I parted a few years ago.

Sweet72 · 01-21-2008, 12:15 PM

JQ-72, can we get a closeup of the Deluxe Two Tone Paint Combinations? Thanks! Just interested in the paint codes...

woodridge · 01-21-2008, 01:09 PM

A glass company here in Knoxville had one with glass racks mounted on the sides of the bed. It is an unusual combo.

sick69 · 01-21-2008, 01:25 PM

You're right about his description. Based on his description alone i'd pay 1500 for it, and then with his description being accurate! It does seem like a pretty solid truck though. Should make a good project for someone.

I acually own a 70 that is Yellow with Med Olive below the lower belt line. I always thought it was an odd combination and PO applied. I got the truck for parts so I never really looked into it.

The other very odd interior issue is that it seems to be Aqua Marine Blue. Thought this might have been a PO swap out also.

I've got photos on my other computer but it crashed a few weeks ago. I'll try to get some in a few days when I go back to the farm and pull the glove box id also.

72BlckButy · 01-22-2008, 12:04 AM

That's a different color combo... thanks for the post, it's always great to find out more about these truck.

67Mach1 · 01-22-2008, 02:45 AM

This is the photo posed on the site. Like I said, not sure if it is OEM or PO applied.

I have seen that combo many times. I also owned a 72' Cheyenne Super dark olive with the light olive top and center. It also had the white herring bone interior and the BB 402/TH400 AC. Here is a pic with my 73' Chinook 11' Camper.

dingo_dan_22 · 01-23-2008, 02:41 PM

My 71' had the same colour combo. I think I'll be going dark olive with a white top this time though.

heavy70 · 01-23-2008, 07:12 PM

The factory color on my 70 chevy was dark olive and yellow it was nasty ugly!!!!

I went to the farm today and will load pics when I can.

This truck is Med Olive, Yellow, Med Olive Some Previous owner did a white top conversion on it. I have photos of this also as there is a 1 inch gap of green before the door seals.

Photos soon...

67Mach1 · 02-04-2008, 11:09 PM

Well my new computer ate some of the photos all I have are these, and they are most likely not going to be able to read.

The last line on the glove box says M/olive yellow m/olive

might be M/olive yell M/olive not 100 %

71 super · 02-05-2008, 12:00 AM

Joe the glovebox door you showed listed both cheyenne and super z84 and ye9 I have seen that before, but I did not think they would list upper and lower moldings as they were part of the package on the super. It looks like it was built in Janesville and is a really early 72, by chance do you remember the build date on the drivers door. My 71 is late but lists like a later 72. It was built in Atlanta and sold near Savannah Ga at coastal chevrolet. Sorry for the hijack.

I sure dont remember anything about that one!!! Sorry....

67Mach1 · 05-06-2008, 03:26 AM

just for grins I will bring this back to the top. the Cab top used to be Medium olive also. Must have been an odd combo to have been paintd over. Seems like they should hvae painted the bottom also.

Not sure if I am going to bring this one back. I like the yellow but not the yellow and green.
