MO Wanted: hugger orange cowl, original paint only - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Joesjunk** · 01-14-2017, 03:37 PM

I'm looking for a very nice, original Hugger orange paint cowl. Must have nice paint and no extra holes drilled in it. I know it's a long shot, but worth asking I guess.
ORIGINAL Paint only please.

**Dustmaker65** · 01-14-2017, 04:24 PM

I know the last time I was at Larry's in St. Charles, he had a nice one.

Can you put me in contact with Larry?

**Dustmaker65** · 01-14-2017, 09:44 PM

Sure! PM me your number.

**Joesjunk** · 01-16-2017, 06:36 PM

He didn't have one nice enough, so I'm still looking. Thanks for the help.

**Joesjunk** · 01-21-2017, 10:26 AM

Still looking.......

**1968k20** · 01-29-2017, 09:12 PM

Can you post the pic of the color please? I may have gotten one tonight

**1968k20** · 01-29-2017, 09:25 PM

Here is is; darker color in real life.

Here's a close up

Ttt

ryans69chevy · 02-05-2017, 01:28 PM

Not sure if this is hugger orange or not... I could prob get the paint code from the spid to know for sure.

**6t727t2** · 02-05-2017, 02:44 PM

Paint code should be 524 one year only '71 I believe.

**Joesjunk** · 02-05-2017, 05:12 PM

It is paint code 524 as a solid color. Could be listed as red-orange on the SPID

ryans69chevy · 02-06-2017, 09:38 PM

Okay. Yea this is a '69. I thought mine had a bit more orange to it then the one you posted. Just thought I'd see. Good luck on the find!

**6t727t2** · 02-06-2017, 10:28 PM

Hey Joe, I guess this is why they say timing is everything? I have a '71 original paint hugger orange Blazer that's been in storage for about 15yrs. I started restoration on it this past summer. About 2 weeks ago I saw the cowl in the rafters and had it media blasted along with a lot of other parts. I have plenty of nice cowls and could have used any of them, but said what the heck, its part of the original blazer.

**Joesjunk** · 02-06-2017, 10:30 PM

Well dang!

They had hugger orange from 69-72, so yours might be the correct color

**6t727t2** · 02-07-2017, 08:25 AM

If you look close, you can see 524 scribbled on one side of firewall and hugger orange on other side. All the color charts I have list hugger orange color as one year only, 1971 for trucks? I'm going to check hugger orange against red orange paint formula to see what the difference is. I think either will look great.

**Joesjunk** · 02-07-2017, 06:07 PM

Red orange and hugger orange should be the same

**Dustmaker65** · 03-26-2017, 08:48 AM

Hi Joe. Just wondering if that cowl worked out for you?

Hey, I haven't had time to mess with it yet. But I think it will work out great. I can't thank you enough you time and effort you put out to get that to me. 👍

Did you sell that camper? I saw it on Facebook and it looked like you had a buyer.

Ya, sold the camper and the Harley same day I listed them. Buying a commercial building to make in to a "Man Cave" for when I retire in a few months

Was just wondering on the cowl, I may have another in a couple weeks if that one does not work out for ya.
