Going Green – Literally

Tagged Under :

Last weekend I picked up my GM 6.2 diesel motor and matching 700r4 transmission. More info and a few photos to come on that. But when I say I’m going green, I mean, literally going green. I was driving through an industrial area in town, and I spotted an old Chevy pickup that had been restored, and it’s just the color I’ve had in mind… I popped in and talked to the guy that built the truck and he was nice enough to give me the paint code. Score!

The color doesn’t translate great on-screen, but it’s a really desaturated green or olive color. This is actually a late-model GM under hood paint code.

Here are a few pics of the truck. Not a lot of long straight panels on this truck, but the doors were STRAIGHT. This truck was slick as glass…
