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! |

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.... |

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

Re: Factory Two Tones ONLY (with NO white)!!
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. A 70 paint information sales bulletin showing some of the combinations used 70-72. 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 A 565 71 Custom Deluxe K10 The requested 565 Cheyene Super 20 Custom Camper

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

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

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!
