Limestone Green Metallic 73-79's
Hey all, I'm new to the forum and have done a lot of searching but can't come up with much. My '73 F-250 project was originally "Limestone Green Metallic" from the factory. The only original paint left is inside the cab. I'd like to see some good pictures of a restored or very nice truck with this paint code. I have found a few small pictures here and there but nothing great. It seems the pics I've found are really faded original paint or the picture is bad/small and you can't really get a feel for how it really looks.
It seems that most folks repaint and get away from the '70's disco era paint colors, lol. I was originally intending to repaint my truck a dark metallic green or Deep Impact Blue, but I may go to the original color just because it is different from what is common out there. |

One of these was limestone green but I can't remember which one.

Hey 50tbrd88 – I’m new here too, and about a month ago Ipicked-up a pretty rough ’74 F100 which is Limestone green. As you said it’s faded badly (original paint) – but I’ve hit several panels with a buffer and compound, and it’s bringing it back nicely. The color is definitely growing on me! Bring on the bell-bottoms, Bee Gees, and Limestone Green! |

Anyone else have pics?

Mine is Jade Metallic Green, but here is a picture for reference.

^ That's a nice truck! I'm digging the sunvisor and old school bug deflector. Period correct awesomeness. There were so many good "green" colors back in the day.

Here's my 78 dark jade green f150 ranger explorer. Not as nice as Tonkatoy's highboy. But it will be someday after I can restore her to her former glory. It'll be complete with the two tone green and yellow stripes. |
I snapped these pics of a '76 F-250 in the junkyard.

Thanks for sharing guys....I think its an interesting color I just cant decide if I want to stay original or not. I had my heart set on Deep Impact Blue (found on newer Fords).

That Deep Impact Blue is a nice color. That's what my wife when she bought her '13 Taraus. And certainly is one of my favorite colors on the newer Fords.

Well, I'm biased towards green, so I say keep it original:-X04
