Re: 1971 Special paint Code
In my Truck Data Book for 1969, in the section labeled "Paints" is the following note at the bottom of the page: "In addition to the wide selection of standard colors offered on Chevrolet trucks, virtually any special color can be obtained on order for two or more trucks. For details and prices on special paints, consult the Chevrolet Zone Office."
So, there should be at least one more truck that was painted the same color as your truck, but the paint code you showed isn't in my book or on the paint charts.
There's a story in my small town of a guy who ordered a new Ford in '62. That same year, Chevy had a gold color called Anniversary Gold (1912-1962). So, he wanted his new Ford to be unpainted. It was....completely assembled and not a speck of paint on it anywhere. The dealership of the day included a guy who is my age, so the story is true.
The point is that anyone could specify a particular paint color (as stated above) and as long as there was a least 2 of them on the order, it could be done. In addition, interior color/exterior paint combos were suggested combinations. If you ordered a green truck with a red interior, you could get it.
