Where do you find th paint code on a 71?

[bruceman1968]

Yes, Under or behind the seat. Between the springs and foam. Some guys have found them under the carpet or behind the tank, you never know. Most are long gone..

[QUOTE=original-71;4561289 is there a way to do a trace with the vin?[/QUOTE]

Not with the VIN. The vin will not show options. The vin will show what assembly plant it was built at.

Also you might have a protecto plate with the owner protection plan. Have you found any paper work like that in your truck?

I know this thread has not been updated in a long while but why is it that almost every 71 I have seen is blue and white (even mine)

The build sheet is commonly found under the "webbing" below the seat. At least on a bench anyway. If it's still there, be careful, because it's likely torn as it is. I made a copy, put it in a plastic sheet and put the original off to bed, never to be seen again.
