Two questions and awesome info on my truck

Hey All,

So I have two quick questions and one of them spurs from a random fact I found out about my truck today. I had driven to work and was getting something out of the glove box and in a fit of boredom I read over the SPID (all original, all intact and extremely legible.... I will try and get a snapshot soon.) and I found out that the current paint job, while not in the greatest of shape, is 100% original from the factory. Two Tone Dark Bronze and White...... 583 was the SPID code I believe.

Now that is out of the way, onto my two questions.

1.) Is this particular model of Dark Bronze still available to track down somewhere? (1970 Chevy C20, doesn't have to be the original paint from 1970 but I would like to find a near exact match for it if possible)

2.) In deciding to drop the truck a few inches, I was curious if it would be easier to keep the C20's current drive train and get drop spindles or springs (I think rear currently has airbags so I might swap to bag suspension to be able to adjust height) or should I go through and swap over to a C10 setup.

Also, if I swap over to C10 is there an easy, bolt on way to do this and obtain disc brakes on all 4 corners?

Thanks for the info guys! I intend on keeping this thing the original Dark Bronze, except I will be swapping the white for the two tone out for something different........ Just haven't decided what yet.
