**Already Gone** · 12-25-2011, 03:59 PM

Check out the interior and exterior colors on this truck and tell, me would GM have sent one out of the factory looking like that?

50bomb · 12-25-2011, 04:03 PM

I am guessing maybe the Original Owner asked for a different option or so.

**71blksuper4x4** · 12-25-2011, 04:03 PM

It's a factory combo. I have seen it a couple of times.

**too much stuff** · 12-25-2011, 04:04 PM

Why not? All the new owner had to do was check the boxes. I remember a burb in canada had a similar combo factory.

mblackburnjr · 12-25-2011, 07:37 PM

I have seen a few 67-68's that were red with blue and a couple red with green.

vectorit · 12-25-2011, 07:54 PM

Just up the road from me.. Hmmm, nah!
Let me know know if you need hands on help.

acid was still quite available in 72 anything was possible// if all original SPID will tell the story

PanelDeland · 12-25-2011, 08:29 PM

I've seen an orange one with a maroon interior.It was on the SPID.IIRC it was a 68.You ordered by what you wanted not by "Covenience Pakage" back then.

The poster of that CL ad must be on crack. Did you see the long ignore list?

If I was selling it I'd want all these to hit the listing!

The year/make/model of rigs like this is enough to attract potential buyers.

I know, but why would he shoot himself in the foot by ignoring all the other years?

This is his ignor list:

1967wannabe · 12-25-2011, 09:29 PM

Reminds me of a light metallic blue '83 K10 with a dark red interior I worked on at a shop in the late eighties. I checked seat bolts and dash hardware for evidence of R & R as I couldn't believe the factory would put out anything that horrendous.....it was all factory.

So yeah, it's prolly OE.

Sicklajoie · 12-25-2011, 10:01 PM

Reminds me of the late model I used to crew on during the mid '90's...

Quite true! And acid was still available in '86 also...oops! Not that I would know, I just heard a rumor....

According to the Truck Data Book I have for '69, there are suggested color and interior combos, but the ultimate choice of the buyer was what was done. Nowadays, GM has interior/exterior combos that you have to follow.

I'm thinking the majority of vehicles you see on the lots are ordered by someone at the dealerships who are doing their best to appeal to as many potential buyers as possible. Ditto back in the day, but buyers who were ordering their vehicle new, had some leeway even if they didn't have very good sense when it came to color combos. What I saw was some red, white and blue, on that truck.

**jocko** · 12-25-2011, 11:46 PM

maybe he was just very patriotic...

Jack_71C10 · 12-26-2011, 12:24 AM

A point to ponder.
2012 silverado's only have three interior color options:
Ebony, cashmere and titanium - basically black,tan and grey

67ChevyRedneck · 12-26-2011, 12:33 AM

$3,500? Interior color be damned, that looks to be one heck of a good deal!

..."your choice of interior color" regardless of the exterior color....backs up what I wrote earlier. Thanks for the ad.

I would think that he wrote ignore for the person reading the post. I suspect its his "tag" list so any unfortunate person that is looking for a ford or dodge or anything put in that list will get his truck on the search.
