Re: POLL: What color is the original color of your 1972 Truck?

This will be an interesting poll

I've never known the colors by most of those names. Most are not listed that way on the SPID. For instance 524 is listed as Red Orange on truck SPIDs. Firebolt was only used in brochures, so most never heard that name if they don't have the literature. Many incorrectly call it Hugger Orange, but that one is well known from cars and some prior year trucks. I know Hawaiian Blue as Medium Blue, Willow Green as Medium Olive Poly, etc. Even Frost is just shown as White. I have all the brochures but most don't. So I use what's listed on the SPIDs because that's the name anyone with a truck will know. Marketing would change names year to year in some cases, too.
