Saddle color trucks
 

How 'bout some pics of my favorite color on these trucks, Saddle (at least I think that's the name). Does anyone have more pics of this one, for instance? Lets see the nice, saddle trucks in stock configuration. Are there any?

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

My Goldilocks project is this color, and was offered in '66 only. Danbury Mint had a 1:24 scale model out last year in the same color.

Here's some I've saved.

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

A few more.

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

I know you like em stock. Other than lacking a set of tall and skinny tires, this is about as pure as they come. 22,000 miles, unrestored, with factory A/C. Pass the drool cup please.

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

I do love that color!

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

I've always thought this color is one of the best for these trucks.

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

In a perfect world...I'd be sitting in the driver's seat of that with a smile from ear to ear and my arm out the window soaking up the sunshine.

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

And a bed full of tall/skinny repro vintage tires, on my way to a tire shop! That thing is awesome!! Is that yours, oem4me? Seems like something you'd own!

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

Hell yes I'd own that. But I don't.

Here are a few pics of mine! Saddle Poly factory paint code 555.

Love these stockers!

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

I dig this color I didn't know it was 66 only.

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

That's actually a gorgeous paint scheme.

I can't get over how good that can look.

Refreshing.

BTW....
I'm thinkin it's a hard color to match.....just by lookin

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

Nice ride there! Like the sunset pic.

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

here's one I always liked - was for sale in NJ a while back, a board member ended up buying it - maybe he has some new pics of it??!

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

Some of my favorite trucks.

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

i can't tell... is that color different than the fawn beige interior color?

looks the same to me...

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

It's different. There's a good bit of difference from the door jambs to the interior panels on my Saddle Poly '66. Saddle Poly has more brown in it than the Fawn Poly interior color.

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

Does anyone recognize the truck in my original post? I'd really like to find some more pics of it. Want to see it from the side. Very sharp.

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

hard to tell with the lighting, but the first truck may be more goldish...i have a couple other pics which also favor the saddle color but also look to have a touch more gold

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

I think my truck color could fall in the saddle family.

Looks like a Honda Pilot to me. ;)

I've got one. Didn't know what the color was called until I stumbled upon this thread:

We've got a slick one in the shop for a windshield and back glass today. LS1, tubular control arms, big disc brakes, and everything super detailed. I'll have more pics of it once it's finished and he takes it out next show season.

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

Is this truck fawn or saddle? It looks to be a '65 and saddle was only offered in 1966.

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

very nice & clean! :metal:

I like the character this one has :bowtie:

yeah, I think it looks darker than saddle...looks to have more of a brownish/gold tint

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

You could own it OEM, Mamma wants a new kitchen !

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

Ok, one more question. I'm trying to decide between the two colors. Is this truck and suburban fawn or saddle?

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

It's gone already, owner picked it up earlier today. I'll see it again and post here next time I get a chance to snap pics. I like the earlier trim as well.


That looks very close (atleast on my moniter) to the original Saddle Poly color. Most of the repainted trucks are lighter than the original color. There are sections of the cowl and one of the wheels on my truck that are original paint and it's darker than most repaints.


This one matches my original paint as close as I've seen.

The color of our 1966 4x4 K20 is technically Saddle and Off white. I'm posting a copy of the original window sticker that shows the color. The color is gold in my eyes.This is the original day one factory paint. There was also a Fawn color for these trucks. Jon

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

now that I look at it closer, I think you might be right...the one Greg was asking about definitely looks very similar to 60-66's K20...I was thinking these lighter colors were saddle, but they're definitely not. The lighting in the pics can make it very difficult to determine colors as well!

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

in the first pic it looks pretty close, but the second looks totally different (lighter)...just goes to show how much the lighting can throw things off

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

Absolutely gorgeous. :chevy:
Please keep us posted on this truck.

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

Sorry to thread jack, but anyone know what color that suburban is and if it's factory?

Re: Saddle color trucks
 

The color is turquoise and yes it is a factory color. I believe it was used from 1958 to 1966.
