that's the one, or as close as i can figure.


my truck 'i think' is supposed to be indian bronze metallic.
single tone.

my wife likes the squares with the 2nd tone centered stripe.

can't remember if that was an option for my year or only rocker panel stripe.

Obviously my front fenders dont match the rest due to the PO hitting a deer. But the rest is original, rust n all! Including all the silverado options it has that most dont work

Btw side note.... im SSOOOO glad i put my square in that car show because it won the muffler rap contest at 14DB and its never looked that nice since! PLUS i met Dennis Gage from the show my classic car, got my pic with him in front of my truck and his autograph on the my classic car sticker! Plus inadvertantly my truck was in the local newspaper as they interviewed Dennis! So super score all weekend that year!!! Btw to the original poster, im very sorry to derail your thread!

This is really a question with no singular answer, in fact it’s even difficult to narrow it down.
Imo GMs were the masters of 2 tone 60s-80s trucks. No one else did it right and not as prolific.
It may be possible to pick a top ten list, but even then....idk.

What is almost a god given fact is that white stripe and/or white roof is THE iconic GM look.

Most vehicles look like hot garbage as 2 tones. I’ve probably “un” 2 toned 10 different trucks. Including newer GMs.
And most vehicles, there’s a few colors I like and a few more I’d put up with.
67-72s and Squarebodys are totally different.

Hell, I’m so stuck on the white roof and stripe look, that once I finish the blue truck (original 2 tone blue) and the new wears off some, I will wrap the center stripe and roof in white.

Even that little short bed c10 beige and **** brindle colored truck that @Lugnut posted looks awesome.
And when my dad had that same color 85 I thought it was the worst possible color combo out there!

I’ve always been a fan of the two tone greens, specifically 1976 color scheme.

When I was younger, I didn’t like that style of two tone, but now I appreciate it more.

The blue on the C10 is probably the same non-metalic I had on my '87 and @Old60Driver truck in post #5. The gray is probably Medium Gray Metallic #18, 7719, WA7719 or close to it.

This is my favorite from my first Square body.

My personal favorites. The black and grey with red stripe and the Fall Guy truck are tied for first place.

But for a 70s model, I like the black and red.
