I have owned a few GM Trucks in that timeless green. From '40s to the '92 GMC I ordered. Woodland Green is what it was most commonly called. GM hasn't offered it since maybe '84 in it's selection after being consistently offered all through the years. It remains a fleet selection and when I ordered my '92 I was fortunate to have them make an exception for me... if I'd be willing to wait until at least five orders for it came in. All in all it took 6 months to get that truck, Jan-June. But not only due to paint. I think it took a 6 week wait on that to begin my order.

Boy I will say that Louisville w/Detroit was a meticulous and tastefully done truck for sure.
It's a green that's so good, and I like it a lot, that I can't paint my truck any other color once I get to that point. Sounds like it should be fairly easy to get that color in a modern paint since it was used for so long
