Free truck!!!!
Scored me a free truck this last week. Used the 350 to go pick her up. I don't know that I am sold on the green though so I need some inspiration from your restored green and bonus points if it is the light jade over jade like the one I got.

That light gray/green that Fiat uses on the 500 was on my short list for awhile. It reminds me of a combination of the light green Ford used in the 60s and the old Bell Telephone vans.

Congratulations on the new truck! That color combo is not a favorite of mine either. I would imagine you have the jade green interior, so you could change that bad Light Jade (R) to Dark Jade Metallic (B) and keep the roof and sides in Jade Metallic (Y). That would definitely be a handsome truck in one of the most iconic and popular color combinations of 1978.

Yes the interior is jade. I scored some jade lariat door panels and will have a local auto restoration place do a split bench I found in lariat jade look. All I will need is the headliner after that. Do you have any examples of a truck painted in the color combo you were talking about?

I agree that the two-tone Palmolive scheme isn't my favorite, either. But in the last 5-7 yrs I've found myself feeling something I NEVER thought I'd be feeling...nostalgic for the 70s. My last 70s car I even went so far,as to upholster the interior in WHITE (always been a black int guy prior)....thinkin about green for my current truck, inside and out.
Sometimes original is so uncool that it's kewl.
I'll never be on board with vinyl tops and "opera" windows...that's just wrong.
