Paint Code Help

I have my 72 C10 ready for the paint shop, however I need some help on the paint code. The truck has a white cab, however the rest of it is red/orange. The option code on the dash says: 544 White / Medium Red. Im wondering what the exact paint code for the white and the medium red is? I have been told medium red in 1972 is Hugger Orange.....is that correct?

Any help would be much appreciated.

-Mike

Re: Paint Code Help

544 = 514(red)& 521(white)
Ditzer codes 70704 for 514 and 2185 for 521
