in BC, forest service trucks used to be very similar to that color, Woodland green.
after searching for a couple yrs for my crew, i got my '85 crew FST at a surplus gov auction.
they used to order them right...factory 454/t400/205, 14 and 60 axles, plus a bunch of other good stuff as well. steering, oil and trans coolers, dual batts and gas tanks, block heater, HD rad, rear slider, cold climate package and 4:56's. pretty bare inside as most fst used to be, gauges, pulse wipers, am radio, cig lighter and a rubber matt on the floor. no headliner or pillor covers anywhere, all bare steel.
everyone said i should have painted it black or blue, but i kept the green, and almost never see that color up here anymore as our FST were changed to a dark blue about 20-25 yrs ago.
good stuff and no fluff...
