1970 FJ40 Judson Green Photos (2 Viewers)

[USOffRoad]

My 1970 is I believe a T453 Judson Green...but could be a T303 Fashion Green. Right now it's a combination of some plum color and a bit of black bedliner but there are spots where the plum has peeled and diamond plate has been removed to show the green. The dash is a faded green as well. Obviously I can make it any color I want but am just trying to ascertain what it really was.

My research has shown some variations of Judson and of course the differences in photography and screen quality makes it hard to match over the interwebs.

I have been collecting color swatches and photos of 40's that are supposed to be Judson but would like to see verifiable Judson Green examples if you actually own one.

Pics 1 and 4 are from mine. Obviously any green seen on mine is faded. The color chart from the Land Cruiser Museum certainly shows a darker green, I say that as I've seen some 40's labled as Judson that were lighter in color. There just doesn't seem to be many Judson 40's out there for some reason.

But looking at more may very well have been Fashion Green.

And yet...when compared to @Zag 's Fashion Green 40 it looks much lighter.

But the Everest paint color square looks a touch darker...but close...that interweb variation thing.

I'm still leaning towards Judson.

Me thinks I prefer the Fashion Green...screw it, Fashion it is.

Do you have more pics of that cruiser? It looks much lighter than the one in your last post. I like the looks of it, reminds me of the Nebula Green color. Bigger fan of Fashion Green or Nebula Green than the Judson Green personally.

I've saved that BAT listing and thanks for the build thread link. That truck is perfect.

This is Judson green for reference. The same truck looks different in different lighting. good luck with your project!
