Re: Original paint color?

this is a pic of me and my wife to be back in 1972 just a few months after I bought my new C10 Highlander.
you cant see all of it, but at least you can get an idea of the color.
not sure if this darker green is the color you are looking for, or if it is the lighter green that was one of the stock colors.
I wish we had more pictures of it than we do.
If I find more I can scan and post.
Sorry, no digital cameras in 72.
We are currently restoring another Highlander, but this one is the tanger (orange) and white.
