Trying to reconnect with member - and a paint question!

Trying to remember the owner's name and for the life of me, I can't remember. Recall chatting with him about this truck and his great plans for it - and now I can't remember his name. I must be getting old. Anyway - if anyone could remind me who the owner is, that would be much appreciated.

In the meantime, I hope he doesn't mind me posting a portion of an old pic of what I think was his pop's truck to pose a paint question. I'm trying to find the paint code for this truck - i.e. which two 78 colors made up this two tone? Or, perhaps it was a special paint option. It looks like "yellow" and "neutral" kinda (or perhaps Santa Fe Tan in the middle rather than Neutral (ppg name?) - but the yellow seems much lighter than 78 GM yellow. Looks a little more like the Chevy Luv Jasmine Yellow, thus the question about a possible special paint order.

Reason I'm asking - I have a "special paint" white over orange 76 and am considering a complete re-do. I love orange, but... I have a full saddle interior and I'm just not crazy about that combo (orange and saddle). Doesn't look bad, but, I figure if I am redoing the whole shabang, might as well make it what I want. And then it will be "special paint" to me Ha. I am hesitant to change from stock combo, hate to do that, but orange and saddle aint workin for me, and plans are for a frame-off someday down the road. Might change my mind back yet, but the pic is of one of my all time favorite squares. Thanks for the help - looking for the combo code, the individual color names/codes, etc. Anyone got a pale yellow truck with saddle interior??
