Maybe it isn't Comet ... but I believe it was a household powdered cleanser that was used to refresh the paint?

Thanks.

Both actually.
514 is the GM paint code for solid red or "Light Red" on your '70 truck.
544 is the paint code for 514 Light Red and 521 White in the Conventional Two-Tone scheme (white roof and red primary).
593 is the paint code for 514 Light Red and 521 White in the Special Two-Tone scheme (white roof, red primary and white rockers).
