Factory Two Tones ONLY (with NO white)!!
 

Thought I'd start a thread - and I hope it hasn't been done already... My favorite factory paint jobs tend to be the conventional two tones without white. So, thought this would be a good subj for a picture reference thread. I know many of you have some great examples of these, so please post em up - I'll start with a few of my favorites EVER, and go from there. Please post the actual color combo along with the RPO number if at all possible. Below, in order (RPO/Top Color/Body Color):
1) 556 Dark Olive/Medium Olive (Pretty much my favorite, ever).
2) 556 Dark Olive/Medium Olive (yes, another, I told you it was my favorite... ALMOST bought this one here in Dallas last year... )
3) 557 Medium Olive/Dark Olive
4) 558 Dark Blue/Medium Blue (courtesy SSTim! - another one of my favorite trucks)
5) 565 Black/Red Orange

Ok, now it's your turn! SSTim, ya gotta post "our" favorite 565 Cheyenne Super Custom Camper, I can't find the pic... Greg, ya gotta post some of your great 556 Highlander! Let's see em!

Great idea for thread Mark.. I'm in

Re: Factory Two Tones ONLY (with NO white)!!
 

THERE it is! Thanks Greg!

Some more!
576 Medium Olive/Light Yellow (Pete, consider yourself hit)
557 Medium Olive/Dark Olive

One thing I've NEVER seen, and always thought would look awesome: 72 K20 black top with ochre body. And cab lights, of course. Not offered as a factory combo, but always wondered if anyone ever ordered that as a special order paint combo. Hmm. Make mine a Cheyenne Super Custom Camper while you're at it....

Love this idea jocko. I'd post a picture of my K/20 buts it's not sporting it's original 557.... Yet any way. One day it will. Love to see the seemingly much less common paint options! I really like the 558 combo too.

Re: Factory Two Tones ONLY (with NO white)!!
 

Mine is the even rarer opposite version of 558. Paint code 559.

556 Dark Olive/Medium Olive First try at this hope it worked.

Custom Two-Tones are great looking trucks and of them IMHO the dark over light are the most striking.

So to add to the fun here are a couple of pictures.

The camper is from a brochure and shows the 504 Medium Olive/520 Yellow combination that was, as far as I know, cancelled prior to production

When I first got my truck, I thought somebody painted my truck wrong since I'd never seen one a green one with a dark roof before.

Thanks Tim! Love that truck.

FWIW, I've never seen a non-white 2-tone pickup built in Canada. Any of these serve as counter-examples?

Sometimes in the Canadian plants they simplified production - like the grill divider on a 70 Chevelle is body color in the US but always black in Canada. I wonder if they just said "No prepping for fancy two-tone paints" in Canada?

Here is one of my nephews. It's from Canada. Don't mind the red door.

Sorry for the crooked pic. My iPhone always does that. Don't know how to fix it

Re: Factory Two Tones ONLY (with NO white)!!
 

Very nice look. I have 15" 215's now and need new tires so been looking at many pictures. I have to investigate if I can increase to 16's. Thanks so much for sending details and closeup pic. It really helps!

Re: Factory Two Tones ONLY (with NO white)!!
 

No problem! Take care!
