2 tone green pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just about ready to take the truck to the bodyshop. We are going to paint it green and white stock 72 colors. The dark green is what we want. Does anyone know what color ( or #'s ) it is. We would like some pics also, inside and out please. A few years ago there was some pics of a nice 72-4x4 in this dark green and white ( it may have been a GMC ). Can't seem to find it now. thanks for any help, jeff

Does it look like the green and white in my avatar?

llama · 03-13-2005, 09:47 AM

The truck actualy looks a little darker in person than it does in the picture. It was taken in my building with a flash. Where is the paint code located on the truck? My build sheet states dark green and white. I had a touchup done to the tailgate last week and the sheet he gave me with the paint formula list it as "HOLLY GREEN".

My truck is dark olive and I think the paint code is "506 dark olive" look at my avatar is that the color ?

I just found two old cans of paint that I had used for touch ups. They both list "505" as the paint code. But mine is definitely different than the dark olive. They look similar at a distance but side by side they are night and day. I hope this helps.

hard to tell from the avatars. the color we are looking for is the darkest green gm had. any pics of your interiors? thanks for the help

Not the best pick. Its PPG Jade Green #45799A

According to my numbers book, there were four green color options in 1972.
Glenwood green = code #506
Meadow green = code #518
Spruce green = code #506
Willow green = code #504

They list a spanish gold, code #511. I list this because my cousin had a '75 which was harvest gold but looked green.

There is only one white listed for '72
Frost white = code #521

I have included this link for a color sheet but the names don't match up. I am wondering if this is for the larger commercial trucks as it is labeled "commercial colors"

I'll keep looking to see if I can find another color sheet with the right names/codes.

widow_maker · 03-13-2005, 12:32 PM

Sorry - Glenwood green should be code #505 [damn my fat fingers!]

joelboxt · 03-13-2005, 12:35 PM

go with med. olive.. much nicer colour.. but do it solid. i was thinking about going med. olive and white like orig. but it looks dirty. sold med. olive is nice.. check out my profile. there is a big side view picture of it. look at the hood that was painted a few years back.

I have a few pics of Dark Olive and White paint jobs. My truck was this color from the factory and one day I'll put it back that way...

If it's the color of the parts truck I just bought, I will look for the paint code for you. This green is a little bluer than the dark olive (my GMC is dark olive and they're not the same).
