Take off gate, what color is this? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Joesjunk** · 07-10-2013, 06:06 PM

I just got this perfect take off GMC gate, it's a '67. Its like an almond/tan color. Any one show this color in their books? I have never seen this color before. Thanks

Only color I could find that was close was meadowlark yellow in 68 trucks. This thread has a paint chart for 1968. Was this style gate used in 1967 and 68?

I just used some simple "L" brackets into a stud, and some chain to hold them up top

It's a commercial fleet paint color that is still available. It's been offered as a stock line color here and there,such as in the '80s as Doeskin Tan.

Too nice for a wall decoration. Almost enough to kill for.
