Two Tone Paint Codes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bluec10 · 09-12-2005, 11:24 PM

Does anyone know of a site or reference that lists the two tone color combinations for a 76 GMC? The glove box sticker is missing from my truck and I'd like to get the original numbers. The paint is so faded that I can't really tell using paint chips.

Look around on www.73-87.com, it might be on there.

GM at one point in time put the color codes on a tag under the hood on the drivers side .
I know they did this on some of the cars, not sure about the trucks.

This may help. I have a 1977 Chevy with a RPO "1ZY2 Conventional Two-ton". I believe that this means conventional two-tone since a guide I have seen describes 1ZY4 as Deluxe 2-tone.

A picture is attached to show my conventional 2-tone paint scheme (the top is tan while the rest is dark brown). I assume that a deluxe 2-tone would have been lighter along the sides.

My truck has upper and lower mouldings. Between the mouldings is an off-white, and the rest of the truck is orange.

From looking at the autocolorlibrary page, I think my colours are Tangier Orange and Off White, but I can't be sure - particularly about the white color.

I wish they just had a list of the two tone combinations so that I could be sure.
