Re: Special/Custom Two-Tone Paint

That just clears things up nicely, not the answer I was looking for, but seems to tie things up at least as Chevys go.
Thanks 70c10-08 for posting that info. sheet.

So then Custom Two-Tone was the name for the trucks with conventional (roof only) paint but with a color other than the conventional's white. It is apparently not the name change that I had convinced myself of. It makes sense as the custom is the same price as the conventional paint. Below are a couple of pictures of this rarely seen paint treatment.

As far as the RV brochure pictures go they were the just likely early, pre-production pictures taken before the option was pulled.

It would seem then that '71-72 trucks with the white rockers were very early '71 ,"special paint" or post-production changes.
