Post some pics of 79 trucks please

[flicker]

Hey all I am new to this forum. I am deciding what colour to paint my 79 GMC truck. Just wondering if you could post a pic or two of your 79 GMC or Chevy, to help me decide. I am particularly interested in yellow trucks and black trucks. Thanks a lot.

Hi flicker,
welcome to the site.
may i give you a suggestion if you would like to go for the original paint colors for your '79 .

it's unlikely you will find a lot of original colored trucks on the net because most of the trucks from that era are redone (in other colors most likely)

i had the same thing with my truck, it had his color(check my stuff here on bowtieguy's truck stop too if you please.)but i wanted to go for another color and if it was possible a color they used for my truck back in 1980.(i am driving a 1980 gmc sierra grande longbed ).
so i searched on the net and via e-bay i found a brochure with the 1980 gmc truck paint colors , cool ey !so if you like you can try that too, i remember there were a lot of these brochures still for sale.you can see the color and what number it has to make it too !

here are some pictures of that brochure:

it says GMC truck paint colors 1980


i went for that dark blue left side top second color





hope i helped you out a little in your decisions.

I have a Two tone that is black and grey, but it is an 1985. It seems to be a popular with many people as far as two tone goes. Its in "MY 1985" in Photo Album near the bottom. Good luck.

Yep I am undecided between black or yellow....I have always liked yellow but I like the way black looks also, and the interior would be easier to match and find parts for....I just thought if I could see some pics of yellow and black trucks it would help me make up my mind.

Just some ideas for you, if you decide to go with a yellow paint job, black and grey are good colors for interior.
