Re: Factory Blazer Colors
I had a 69 gmc parts truck, that was silver. It was original paint on firewall, and hidden areas.
Hugger orange was available in many different years, and on many different models, from 69-71, and again in 76. It came with several different names. Pontiac called it Carousel red. On Corvettes it was called Monaco Orange, etc. Car Hugger is a little more orange than the truck hugger. |

To throw a real curve ball in here, my 72 Blazer pictured above (post 12?) is an original Tangier Orange, still with alot of it's original paint (floors and underhood as well as jambs,,,as you can see in the pics) But the color on my SPID is "medium olive". It's the original SPID as serial numbers match and everything else appears correct for options. Was this a monday truck?? :lol: Definately a typo on mine as far as the color goes.... http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/PC190015.jpg http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/PC190014.jpg http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/P8120013.jpg |

Re: Factory Blazer Colors
I actually like those softer yellows. Reminds me of GM Butternut Yellow circa 66-68.

Re: Factory Blazer Colors
They remind me of the old yellow-green Forest Service trucks, but yeah, I've always liked that color.

Re: Factory Blazer Colors
Wow, I've kinda been out of touch with the forum lately but I'm glad I checked in. What made me write this post in the first place was I had seen a silver 67 or 68 (can't remember exactly) out at Medina Lake. From the road it looked to be original and was even for sale! I never went back and looked at it to see its true condition or if it was original paint. I kick myself all the time for not looking into it!

I'm pretty sure this is Hawaii Blue. It's actually a little darker than the pics appear. Obviously I'm just getting started on restoration.

Re: Factory Blazer Colors
Just checked the placard. It says medium blue.

Re: Factory Blazer Colors
1972 525 yellow, with a twist. I had them go light on the green pigment. Not much different.

Here is the very original paint for code 510. It is obviously faded and lighter then stock. Looks more like the 507 for 69.

Also what lift do you have. I just picked up a 71 GMC and like the lift your K5 has. What size tires. Not sire if I would want to go over 31x10.50x15. Those look like 33's. Which are really nice looking. Thanks Jeff |

Im not sure if this would be the right thread to post on but I am currently getting the body work done on my 1977 K5, I've been told that the color is either a Hawaiian blue or a medium blue but they both looked the same to me on the info I found on google. does anyone have the color charts for 73-77 or that can tell me the difference? I really want to keep my color original. Thanks!Attachment 1582126

Re: Factory Blazer Colors
I have a 1978 Chevrolet K-20 4WD I purchased new on Saturday July 8, 1978. It is a Cheyenne. The color is Mariner Blue Metallic. The Hawaiian Blue is not metallic. Both are what I would call a medium blue...or that type of category. The problem I have seen and found with body colors on these trucks ( 1967 - 1972 and 1973 - 1980 ) is more often than not the 'name' for the color listed in the brochures do not always match the 'name' post on the SPID. Evidently, General Motors thought they needed a "fancy name" for colors listed on the sales brochures, but that color name did not need to match the color name posted on the SPID. In addition, the paint code charts for PPG, Dupont, etc. usually show the more generic names identical but sometimes different than the paint code names posted on the SPID's. Hope that helps.

And as far as the controversy about Hugger Orange is concerned I owned a 1970 Chevy that was clearly labelled "Hugger Orange" on the SPID. Just my two cents worth. I know there is a lot of discussion about all the different names for what is called Hugger Orange on my truck. I love to hear personal comments and experiences that folks have had with names and codes on their trucks. |
