Saw this one for sale in Vernon a few weeks ago and had to take some pics...says it is actually a factory pink paint truck.

MandarinSixSeven · 07-27-2003, 09:57 PM

another

Southpa · 07-27-2003, 10:07 PM

Cool, any idea how much hes asking? I see it has saddle tank option. I think the color was listed as Coral pink. Someone posted a pic of a coral truck from Calgary a few years ago. I wonder how many were made?

knucklebuster · 07-27-2003, 10:08 PM

I wonder if thats the color pink that ludwigs been looking for!!!I didn" know Mary Kay gave trucks away too!!!

Blue_71 · 07-27-2003, 10:08 PM

a pink truck with "back off" mud flaps

Longhorn Man · 07-27-2003, 11:26 PM

The shade of pink doesn't look right, also the lack of trim on a 2 tone truck doesn't seem right to me.
Here is a documented ice corral pink GMC.
The owner said screw originality and yanked out teh 350 and stock wheels (kept them all stored away thoguh) and installed a 502/502 with a Th400.

Alexis · 07-27-2003, 11:40 PM

wasn't this a special canadian version? I think I remeber a while back like a few years that the pink truck was a topic on the board for a while.

Longhorn Man · 07-27-2003, 11:47 PM

Yeah, canadian only. All dealers got one, and could order more if wanted.
Some people on here say they thing there was a lime green deal just like it, but no one is positive though.

huggerk5 · 07-27-2003, 11:55 PM

There was a lime green blazer here in amarillo, texas. We just assummed it was boarder patrol rig. It was for sale a few years ago.

Hutch · 07-28-2003, 12:31 AM

I saw a suburban third door that was originally painted pink at a swap meet in arlington.
Was there ever a Canadian GMC Suburban painted with this color?

Have fun

krazy_texan · 07-28-2003, 01:08 AM

i saw the same suburban and since then i have always had a thing for the pink 67-72 trucks.

Iceman7642 · 07-28-2003, 02:31 AM

they would only make a pink truck in canada!!!!

Poor thing wanted to be mustard and white

Iron-Butt · 07-28-2003, 02:54 AM

I guess if you liked pink, you could drive it at night.

JayDubBlazer · 07-28-2003, 05:07 AM

My blazer is the orginal light green color (it has been poorly repainted) and it was a Arizona park truck.

Tink · 07-28-2003, 06:42 AM

That first one looks like Pepto Bismo Pink!

dubie · 07-28-2003, 09:46 AM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't all the ice coral pink Canadian trucks come with a 402?? I thought I remembered reading that a while ago. PLus they were a loaded option truck as well. I would like to see more about these models.

Andrew68c10 · 07-28-2003, 11:45 AM

That's the truck they give to men who get rich selling Mary Kay Cosmetics.

jewels. · 07-28-2003, 11:59 AM

ok- i just *have* to say it....

that is a girl's truck! woohahaha ha ha ha ha!!! hee hee! <<giggle>>

yeah - i remember a few years ago a long discussion about the rarity of pink trucks, and their origins.

i love it! i think i need one!

casey · 07-28-2003, 11:59 AM

Mudder · 07-28-2003, 01:40 PM

well, i thought i would be there sometime in august, but i have been detained..... so now its looking like the beginning of september (i hope - if all goes well)...

anyways, my boss in KC is expecting me to start the second week of september, so i had better be there by then.

i am looking forward to it. good chance to meet more board members, right? you will have to get me a list of good junk yards out that way, eh?

ciao!

67cst · 07-28-2003, 02:21 PM

if that thing did have a big block and all the good stuff id buy it and get it painted!!! or if it was cheap enough you could have an awesome donor truck for another project...

Longhorn Man · 07-28-2003, 04:16 PM

The one that I posted was all original when he bouthg it, 50K on the clock, purchased from the original owner, the glove box lists a 350.
So I'll say no, they were not all 402 trucks.
Even though I am not a huge fan of pink vehicles, I do have to say...these look awsome.

MandarinSixSeven · 07-28-2003, 04:59 PM

This thing they were asking $5000. I wasn't actually the one who took the pictures, it was my GF so she couldn't remember what engine it had and such...This weekend we will be passing by it on the way to seymour, so I'll check it out again.
