That is super nice only problem is the color scheme IMO

I don't know what chevy was thinking when they started painting their trucks tractor yellow!

Scrubby · 03-10-2006, 04:10 PM

Very nice. But, $24000? Wow!

I can't remember ever seeing an ochre tractor

The color looks good with the white center.The console has cup holders.I think you could get wheatland or grapefruit as the "yellow" colors.Blazers didn't come 2 tone like that with top moldings.
It is still a beautiful truck

Looking at those pictures it almost looks like a toy or a model

Yeh, who on earth can stand that color? Just send anything you find in OCHRE paint my way and I will protect all from the expense of repainting. And yes, I will take your Minneapolis Moline tractors too!

Hey it's all good and like I said to each his own, it seems more trucks were painted that color than any other. My first 72 Blazer was that color and personaly I hated it but that's just me I guess, Just want you guys to know I wasn't trying to insult anyone. and hey if that blazer was given to me I wouldn't complain about the color or repaint it I would glady accept it! BUT if I was gonna pay that kind of cash for a truck that would be one of the last colors I'd be looking for.

da-burb · 03-12-2006, 10:48 AM

I didn't take it as an insult. I hear it all the time about the like or dislike of Ochre. I like to tell people that this color is like a fungus. It gows on you after a while.

At a car show I was across from my burb when a young couple were talking about my truck. She hated the color because it looked like her parents refrigerator and he loved it because it was still original. I caught up to them later and she now walks with a limp.

Just kidding, to each his own.

And the offer is still out there. I will adopt any unwanted Ochre truck or truck part...........

Man, that thing is sharp...

da-burb · 03-13-2006, 11:26 PM

And offically they weren't Ochre, just Prairie Gold, Prairie Gold II, Power Yellow, and Energy Yellow through thier production years. Still would like to have a nice Utility version of any of them.
