Cant see the pic? Look at the firewall, under dash bezel, inside if ash tray ect. Should be able to find out. Check cab corners around fuel tank ect.

mrwilmoth · 06-21-2005, 04:26 PM

nothing, they did an excellent job of repainting it.

I guess that means you can pick your fav color!

LOL @ farside.

Mine has it listed on the sheet you show above. All I see is that it had a beige interior.

70GMC_BOB · 06-21-2005, 05:11 PM

If it is a 1971 paint code fc456 is listed under two-tone colors. The body color as 2212 & body two-tone color as 2185. 2212 = hunter orange & 2185 = white. got this from autocolorlibrary.com.

Sillyoldman · 06-22-2005, 03:55 AM

Now That would be a great color combo to go back to. I wish mine were originally that color.

**special-K** · 06-22-2005, 07:54 AM

Looks like to me the first line under two-tone paint (top left) is 456. but could possibly be 458. what do you think.

here is the other page showing hunter orange and white. if it is not 456 on the paint chip sheet then I have no idea. what does it look like under the dash/carpet door panels?

roger0080 · 06-22-2005, 08:21 PM

I'm going to say that the paint code number is 456, but you also have a factory truck order number in the SE# field, probably indicating that you have a custom ordered truck. If you knew who to contact GM in its day, you they could give them the FTO number and haveit looked it up.
