Seamist Jade Green, anyone? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sodly · 07-31-2014, 10:56 PM

Does anyone own a '63 in the unusual factory color of Seamist Jade Green? Heck, has anyone ever even seen one? I haven't. Does anyone have a pic of a legit Seamist Jade truck? Would love to see one.

Similar, but I don't think that's Seamist Jade. It's a metallic. Here it is (I believe) on a Corvair truck.

Monte's62 · 08-01-2014, 11:33 PM

I have never seen a pickup in seamist jade either, and I don't believe the pickup in these pics is correct. The Corvair looks to be the correct seamist jade.

The truck in the photo does look good.....but I don't think its a stock truck color....I could be wrong but I have never seen it..I wonder what color it is for sure

Here is one sodly. Seamist Jade is one of those rare metallics. http://www.chooseyouritem.com/classi...00/439549.html

Good job, Factorystock.

and just in case the link disappears...

I call that "60s christmas ornament green". Had a galaxie painted about that color.

Thanks, Factorystock-- king of the obscure factory photos!

I have to agree...much better pic and color match than what I posted.

sodly · 08-07-2014, 10:55 PM

Hey, 1963c-10 and joedoh it might be helpful if you went back and deleted your photos so people don't get confused in the future. Just a suggestion for clarity's sake. No biggie.

Another obscure photo!

**VictoriaHardware** · 08-12-2014, 11:44 AM

That's not obscure. That's the Belgian Block loop at the GM Milford Proving Grounds.

1963c-10 · 09-03-2014, 02:03 PM

Looks to be correct for the Sea mist jade green......

I just seen this truck for sale on eBay with a buy it now price of 3500. Is that where you got the pics?

1963c-10 · 09-04-2014, 09:14 AM

Yeah....didn't stay up long. A steal of a price too!!

Yeah, if only it would have been closer to Louisiana. Had me wanting a long stepper.

AcampoDave · 02-04-2015, 12:37 AM

Interesting that the truck in oem4me's post appears to have a trim color that is off white, and the one in 1963c-10's appears to be pure white.

64jmb · 02-04-2015, 12:55 AM

Thanks for the pictures and the help Sodly, I posted my 62 C10 Custom Cab on my thread, but it is not sea mist jade anymore, but is the original color. It is coming through the repaint pealing off. note: has the incorrect GMC hood. I have a correct on for it now.

xRAY76 · 02-04-2015, 07:19 PM

i really like that color...
my plan for my 60 was flat olive green, but now im not sure

Cool truck looks like a really nice aluminum grill

64jmb · 02-04-2015, 08:40 PM

Thanks, I just got this truck, neat options on it and I love the original color in sea mist jade. I am planning on taking it to a power washer and see if that old repaint comes off.... original custom cab and pretty cooler chrome... pretty solid truck!

factorystock · 04-19-2015, 10:29 PM

Found another one, not mine http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/4974269756.html

Nice find factorystock. That's a pretty rare one being a factory K10 with custom trim.
Curious why the seller provides a nice tight shot of the replacement rad cap, yet no interior pics. ??
