Why poop brown?
 

Anyone know why some these trucks where painted poop brown? Ugly! What were they thinking on this one? I've seen some rare ugly colors too (green and yellow, etc).

What vehicle from the 70's wasn't painted that way? I like those colors; they have an earth-like tone to them.

Can't imagine anyone liking poop brown. Not something that would turn my head.

Imagine what people will say 30 years from now about todays trucks having 20 inches of lift, and 22" tires on a 3/4 ton. Gray, white, UGLY colors. What were they thinking?

Exactly!:-drink

The browns and greens are cool now because they would look so weird on some of today's vehicles (although the new brown Ford uses on the Super Duty & F150s on '08 & up looks pretty darn good)!

For the dent sides, nothing beats the red & white like on UTfball's F250. Wish the '78 I found had that paint and not the 2 tone brown that it has. :)

I never thought brown was that ugly on these trucks.

The coral red on the other hand, what were they thinking?? If I wanted a Chevy Orange colored truck, I would have bought a 350 long block and strapped it to my lawnmower.

My dad had a '77 that was similar in color to <A href="http://img.epinions.com/images/opti/f0/a3/1978_Ford_F-150-resized200.jpg" target=new>This one</a>. Bought it brand new he did.

The freewheeling ford! (Yuck)

ROFLMAO! :-missingt

Seriously, show me the difference between Chevy Orange and Corral Red. Half of the front is buffed factory paint, the other is engine paint.

I tell people the chevy orange gives me the right to claim 15 extra HP because of the chrome valve covers.

I had a 78 2wd that was poop brown and called it the TURD.

my old 79 was the dark chocolate metallic brown, and at first i did not like that color. but over the years it has grown on me quite a bit.
