Hugger orange trio - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Joesjunk** · 04-16-2017, 11:49 AM

So I had been looking for an original hugger orange truck, and I have ended up with 3. All 3 are original paint, but you notice how the color differs with the amount of wear on them. The K/20 has the most wear and looks much more orange than the other two that have much better paint. Not sure I have ever had 3 of the same color at the same time before. Just thought it made for a cool picture

Very nice. Are there any orange ones left out there for the rest of us?

CG · 04-16-2017, 01:43 PM

I think that's the first time Ive seen the one with the mags on it. I know you were looking for a set but didn't know you got it done. Looks great.

**FleetsidePaul** · 04-16-2017, 01:50 PM

That's not a cool picture, that's a REALLY cool picture (pictures).

**jocko** · 04-16-2017, 02:47 PM

Thanks for sharing Joe. Good point on the differences in the fade - I would have almost guessed the K to be a 516 orange truck if you hadn't mentioned it was hugger. All of em look great. Three of them together look even better!

yuccales · 04-16-2017, 03:38 PM

Very cool!

Sicklajoie · 04-16-2017, 04:37 PM

Awesome pictures.
Wanna Photoshop mine in there too?

**rustytruck50** · 04-16-2017, 08:26 PM

Extremely cool!
Are they all from the same plant...thought that might also account for the difference in aging.

**jerry moss** · 04-16-2017, 09:10 PM

sweet trio you have there.

72 tigger · 04-16-2017, 09:17 PM

Nice pics! Is the paint on the inside of the C20 bed original? If it is, that's crazy

Yes it is, it's 100% original paint on everything. I have been over it with a fine tooth comb. I need to start a thread on that one. It's unbelievably nice.

El Dorado Jim · 04-16-2017, 11:01 PM

really cool, what is your favorite color? ha ha

72kool · 04-17-2017, 12:18 AM

Wanna sell me that k20 ?

Nice trucks!

hewittca · 04-17-2017, 08:05 AM

Those are some nice trucks! I'd like to see a shot of all the truck in your sig lined up.

Lol, my favorite color is actually blue, but hugger orange is a close second

Ian71GMC · 04-20-2017, 06:09 PM

Wow. Color me jealous!

Husker · 04-20-2017, 07:19 PM

I'm Jealous, Very Nice Trucks and Home for the Trucks.

Really nice, you seem to be in a regular suburban area, where do you keep them all?

I have a 2 up, 4 down garage on my house, and I keep 5 in that detached garage. I also share a large building with a good friend for more storage

kehstr · 04-21-2017, 10:19 AM

Those trucks are all REALLY good looking!! I have to say that I wished that that c20 was mine
