Paint code?
I think this is one of the best looking trucks I have seen. Sure the red and white looks good, but that is a bit played out...so is the blue and white,a nd the ocher is cool, but needs the upper and lower trim with white in the middle to pull it off IMO.
I have been trying to figure what color would look good with black vinyl in the cab, and white GMC grill and bumpers and wheels. Of course one day I hope to chainge all that ****e to chrome, but that is a pipe dream in reality. I think this color combo is the best for the above criteria. I think I have a lead on the lower trim for the longhorn, and if so, I plan on doing the two tone in this manner. So anyone know the code for this shade? I think this truck belonged to Tracy Focht, I haven't seen him on here in ages, but his profile says he was on yesterday....maybe he dumped his truck and joined the 73-87 side of the house. |

Longhorn Man
Maroon Metallic 517 (1969) I am not positive but this is the only factory color that comes close. It appears to be a one year only color for Chevy and Gmc Trucks Maybe someone out there has this color code and could post some pics.

Cool, I didn't really even notice that looks some what like the original color on the GMC. (not that I would be able to get the paint code off of that) I guess the tranny hump pictured is the same shade then huh?
Like I had said though, that 69 up there is one of the best looking uncommon paint schemes I have seen. |

Longhorn,
Check this site out. The color is Maroon Poly, (poly is another name for metallic). That is a sharp truck! Jim http://autocolorlibrary.com/cgi-bin/...truck-pg01.jpg |

I've still got a set of Longhorn upper bed trim if you decide to two tone that truck.
