Did they have that trick fade-out paint work? (darker around edges). Harvest Gold!

Good one Tim! Harvest Gold appliances were the "in thing" in 72! My first 72 C-10 is ochre underneath the "pumpkin orange" the PO painted it..."Ochre" reminds me of flat beer...Yucky when its flat, but good stuff when it's sparking! Indeed a color that grows on you..."Like beer" an acquired taste...

PS...I like my Okra fried or pickled, in that order please!

Got me a powerful hankerin' for some Okra right about now.

Lol, now your asking me to remember to far back Tim. I lost the exact details in the fading memories.

The dryer at my cabin is "Harvest Gold". Does that make it rare?...lol

Sons first ride. Big Block, Auto, Posi, still has original spiral shocks.

Are there multiple ochre colors? I only ask because there is wide variance in the pictures and in trucks I've seen. Some look school bus yellow and some more greenish. I have a 1972 Chevy van brochure with 2 colors that are indistinguishable by my old eyes. One is Spanish gold other might be dark yellow? Matt
I love them all

Isn't Ochre a fried side dish south of the Mason-Dixon Line? Oh, you mean the color. Hey, to each his own on color. I've had a few people tell me I should change the color of my truck, to "something more modern". I like Medium Olive, and I don't need those negative minded people around me
