Factory Orange Gen II Blazer?

[BAJA_BLAZER]

When if ever was there a Factory offered Orange paint option on the Gen II Blazers? Does anyone have a picture? I'm doing a Retro-Mod Blazer Prerunner and am looking for the right Orange for the project.

Thanks!

Not a Blazer, but short bed. Factory Orange.

click on the link to the build thread in my sig for my 73 k5. It was factory orange, faded now but still the stock orange paint.

I think that is the copper color that they offered not the orange.

If that's something on the glovebox RPO tag, I can ask the owner of the #0661 Chalet for it. Might be the same as GreenieK30's truck.

incohrect . Its burnt orange just hard to tell from all the years its got on it.

Mine is fleet chrome orange, special order factory color.

In my 75 they called it Cheyene red. . .

My truck is red ('73) but was originally a red orange. The interior parts that are painted are still a red orange color. I'll look up the color code tonight.

Thanks for all the input, I'm looking for just the right orange to make this thing really stand out.

Go with Hugger Orange/Carousel Red. Same color, different name, used by Chevy and Pontiac in the late 60s early 70s on Camaros and GTOs. I love that color.

Highway Dept orange was a factory offered color too. Personally I like the Hugger Orange/Carousel Red too. Orange was Chevy, Red was Pontiac. I am lovin' the Fleet Chrome Orange on that short bed though.

Grew up riding around in a burnt orange '76 K5 with a black top.
