It's not a pickup but it might give you an idea.

That's too cool... My '73 came from the factory with those colors. It would be nice to go back one day. I believe the color is called "lime green metallic"...according to the build sticker.

Hey Mr. Pops,

Do you have any more pictures or information about that truck? I've had the bottom one saved for a little while and it's one I look at a lot. I'd like to know what was done suspension-wise (bags? dropmember?) and if the inner fenders or bed needed to be modified. I really like the way it sits.

Thanks,
Ed

Sorry, I just saved those pics when I saw them online one day, I think it was on this site too. I love the 73-80 full trim two tone look (like my Blazer) and would have to say that this color combo is one of my favorites and I plan on using this theme once I swap the front clip off my crewcab for a 73 clip..

hardwaa · 10-28-2010, 01:42 AM

Ol'Rover · 10-31-2010, 03:56 PM

This is a photoshop i did. I belive it was a members truck on here, origionaly was a white on white K30, but i 2 toned it, this will hopefully be what my truck will look like. John Deer Green & white :P

superwade57 · 02-08-2011, 09:15 PM

bigd65 · 02-08-2011, 09:28 PM

the color scheme that Hardwaa posted with that blazer was common around here for one of the construction companys.. all their trucks were that scheme

superwade57 · 02-08-2011, 09:42 PM

i dunno- we were both posting on that page recently and the "spring green" or "medium lime" (as it is said to also be called depending on gmc or chevrolet?) seems to be a brighter and darker green if that makes sence together? but i agree i absolutely love the spring green on this truck and to think its the original paint with just a more recent clear as of 2006-ish according to the owner(to the left) color in question to right. sorry for the next two posts i dont know how to delete them after i edited this one to fit everything

My '73 K20 has the original "Marine Turquoise/White" paint job. It looks more blue here, but it is actually a green teal...
