Post your green truck!
 
Hello forum!

I'm about to get my truck painted and I'm thinking green (duotone w white). But there are so many shades and I've no idea on what color code to go by. So please, show off your green truck and if possible, include the color code.

Cheers!

This is mine. 1972 C20 with a paint code of 505. They're a lot of work when they're in the condition mine is in, but I wouldn't sell it for anything. It's all big bolts and no computers. I love these trucks!

I know what you mean, here's a couple of pictures of my truck as it stands. Can't wait to get it painted.

Meadow Green(518) & white. There are paint charts that abbreviate it to Med. Green, but the brochure shows it as Meadow Green, not Medium Green.

Here’s a pic that I took today. It ain’t pretty, but she runs like a top.
The blue tarp is to keep the interior dry til I make time to get the new windshield put in.

Interesting and confusing. I think it was called meadow green in maybe 67-70? Not 100% sure. My SPID spells it out as "Medium Green".

1972 GMC "Medium Green" with a black top. Not sure what color the dark green front fender is. It's a replacement after a wreck.

518 = medium green (SPID) = Meadow Green (brochures, etc)

518 = SOLID med green paint
548 = Conventional Two Tone (i.e. 518 primary/521 secondary (roof))
484 = Deluxe Two Tone (i.e. 518 primary/521 secondary (roof and sides))

brown7373, as pictured, your truck should be RPO 484 paint - and your statement is spot on as it is 518 + white

if olives count as greens, here are my past and present:
71 C20 Cheyenne Super Custom Camper 504 code (solid med olive)
72 K20 Cheyenne Super 557 code (custom two tone 506 dark olive primary with 504 medium secondary (top) - it's missing the medium olive top at the moment :)

My truck is in my avatar. It’s been repainted years ago so the color I don’t think is quite right. I’d have to look at spid but I’m pretty sure the original color is medium green.

What hosting site are you guys using to post pics?

No need to host, (hosted pics tend to turn into blank pages down the road when the host decides to charge for their services...) just add up to 5 per post as attachments. Select "Post Reply" or "Go Advanced" to get to the Paper Clip - click it, and browse for up to 5 images on your computer, click "Upload" then "Close". They won't appear until you actually post the reply.

Did someone say green?? I support that idea!! I have the paint codes on the cans (buried in the basement) if you are interested. Basically I tried for a metallic 503 green in a standard paint mix.

Don’t know the color code, P.O. had it done. Definetly nicer than original medium olive/yellow (576).
Getting a 700R4 next month.

Interesting. 1972 brochure calls it Meadow Green. My SPID has it abbreviated as Med Green. I had never seen Medium spelled out...then again I never really "investigated" it.
