505 Green
 

I have been thinking about going with 505 green and a white top. Does anybody have pics.

Any trucks out there in dark green #505. Please look paint chart http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/chipcrea...=Chevy%20Truck

Re: 505 Green
 

It's a great color that is very traditional on trucks,used since the beginning and still used. Since the early-mid '80s it's only available as a fleet color.I got GMC to let me order my '92 in that color. It makes trucks look great,people really like it,yet you don't see many these days. So,you won't have what everyone else has. I have a huge amount of pictures and only found a few in 4wd. The deluxe 2-tone belongs to See Ten and the other is more what you had in mind:

I do not see that color that much, and I think green with white would loon nice.

Non-metalic Dark Green is a classic look. A white top is even better.

Re: 505 Green
 

Been thinking of maybe painting my roof white.

I believe this is a 505

Re: 505 Green
 

nice looking even better with white top, JMHO

Re: 505 Green
 

You would not by chance have a side shot of the truck in the 3rd pic ?

Re: 505 Green
 

no white roof though

Re: 505 Green
 

This is "White/DK GREEN/White" on the SPID. It says 148510 for a code, so not sure if that's Chevy 505 or not (this is a GMC). My Dad's original one was this color and hence it's one of my favorites...

Re: 505 Green
 

Both my 55 1st series 5 window and 55 2nd series big window were this color... You can still see it in places even after they have been thru all the layers of paint and primer!

I plan to paint them both back to this color....one day...

You mean like these? Dug up the rest of the group in another file I have. Same file number range,date created and time slot.

Re: 505 Green
 

Somehow I forgot to add that my dad had a 72 custom deluxe c10 new in 72 that was this color green with a white top. It had the lower aluminum trim. It was a lwb with 307 auto ps pb no Ac

Been too long, now you have to prove it with a picture. :-)

Re: 505 Green
 

FYI,that Suburban is Dark Olive Poly. That Sierra Grande has the Dark Green,also called Woodland Green. They used a different code for two tones/same color. My '71 Blazer was Woodland Green (w/white top!):

Re: 505 Green
 

That sure is one fine truck. My plan is to paint my 67 green with white top & grill, no trim.

Re: 505 Green
 

A few more of one of the nicest SWB K/10s owned by one off the nicest guys who also can him sum pikcherz

Re: 505 Green
 

Let's get this thread back up and running! Anyone else out there have the 505 green? Here's mine.

As always, it's a work in progress. . .

Re: 505 Green
 

It's interesting that this would come up now. My dad bought a brand new 1959 Apache 10 in 505 green. I was thinking about that truck this afternoon. I was 7 years old, and I always loved that truck.

I remember pretty much what happened to all the cars in my life, but I cannot remember what he did with that truck.

Re: 505 Green
 

One of my favorite colors for our trucks and not just because one of my old trucks is in this thread =)

Re: 505 Green
 

Here's my 67 k20 long stepper with what's left of the original green

Re: 505 Green
 

Have any of you guys had luck with finding a replacement dash pad that matches the 505 color code of your truck? I contacted Brothers about a new dash pad and someone there told me the color code of their pad was M24 green. I haven't tried any other vendors at all, yet, but I'm trying to keep everything looking as stock as possible where I can. I guess I could drop a black pad in there, but 505 green is what the truck originally came with.

Re: 505 Green
 

Is your dash 505 between the pad and the windshield? If it is, yes, it should have a 505 pad. Mine was saddle colored between the windshield and the pad. Also had a saddle colored mat. That's my old 72 swb 4x4 in the previous pics

Re: 505 Green
 

Hey See Ten,

It is 505 between the pad and the windshield.

Re: 505 Green
 

Here's my 505 dark green '68. The bedsides have been repainted, but everything else is original 505.

Re: 505 Green
 

505 is a paint color. There were no vinyl dash pads made to match body color. And the area between pad and windshield wasn't painted body color. It was painted a flat color close to the interior trim color. If you had the base green interior, that pad is not made. Only the upper trim level colors are reproduced. That green is a lighter shade closer to a kelly green than a forest green. If you have the original interior parts, those are your best reference.

Re: 505 Green
 

Here's 505, just got it a couple weeks ago. Have more pictures of it posted in other threads I've started...

As soon as the garage is done getting the gas tank cleaned out, and a fresh tune-up I'll spend some time cleaning her up!

Re: 505 Green
 

Mike, I was thinking that '68 shown earlier in this thread is identical to yours. I swear it could be the same truck...that much alike. I guess that's because both are factory stock.

Let me fowl this thread up to show even a new truck could be this color today, in a fleet order. Back in '92 GMC allowed me to order my truck in this fleet color as long as I was was willing to wait for a minimum order of five trucks in that color. Overall, it took 6 months to get my truck, but the paint only held it up 6 weeks. They still call it Woodland Green

Re: 505 Green
 

I thought I put my 67 in this thread, must be in a different one.

Re: 505 Green
 

68panelman,
Your truck is DDG (drop dead gorgeous)!
Maybe someday mine will shine like that...
V/r,

Re: 505 Green
 

Thanks, I've yet to polish it, older resto. It's why I love single stage paint.

Re: 505 Green
 

I was thinking of running over to the garage this weekend (if the rain can hold off for an hour or two... and bringing some polish and camera along, polish up a door, or maybe the hood, see if she shines up... I'm hopeful!

Re: 505 Green
 

You have a great specimen to work on, it'll come out great. You'll be amazed how well they polish up

Re: 505 Green
 

This thread (one of my favorites) may help you.

Re: 505 Green
 

Check these out, I just acquired a 9 ft stepside box trailer to build a 1971 K30 with and its going to be woodland green and white. I want it to look like it just drove off the lot when it was new.

Re: 505 Green
 

HO455,

Thank you! I just reading through the entire thread, WOW! There are some amazing trucks on this site! I'm amazed there are this many still around, and looking so good!

Ok, so I gotta ask.... 455HO, do you have one? 71 Pontiac GTO, or G-37?
I've got a soft spot for Pontiacs, though my 98 Camaro SS is keeping a smile on my face for the time being. Although when my Truck is looking and running as I'd like, the Camaro may have to depart for an old Firebird Formula 70-72...

Thanks again for the thread - very cool Trucks!
Mike
