Re: Rarest Paint Color?
Im no help on the paint but I believe the throttle is possibly a "cruise control" of sorts? Knob on the dash that pulls out and locks in place? Seen things like that on bigger trucks, wich was mainly used to control engine speed for PTO drivin equipment maybe the smaller trucks had something similar. Thats my best guess anyway Im sure someone with more info can help. Love this thread just cause I love trucks that just dont look like one a couple blocks away. Unique is awesome.

Manual throttle was just a knob on the dash that you could pull out to raise the rpm. Not really sure what they were ever used for though?? I have that option on my 71.

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
your truck was originally a 307/3 speed on the column. Your vin starts with "CE" The "E" means v-8, 307 was standard. Any other v-8 would have been an option and listed on your SPID sticker. Also, the 3 speed on the column would have been standard on your truck too. Any other tranny would have been an option an listed also. Hope this helps. Very rare color combo you have too!

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
Your truck would have been a C/10, it was a base model truck.

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
That's a pretty sweet looking color. Kind of like the 'Pink Panther' pink found on the old 'Cudas.

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
maybe this would be a good place to put up a pic of this '69 CST C20. I have never seen this color on a truck. I believe it is Turquoise Poly, but have been hard pressed to find proof. I do not have access to the SPID yet to prove it, but it looks like the turquoise poly and light green top.
I would love to get some more information from ANY member about this color!!!! ANYBODY..... Merry Christmas Matt

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
I've seen every color mentioned so far but my 68 GMC Suburban has VERMILLION. It is a burnt dark reddish tint of orange metallic. I can not say I have ever seen it on another truck. Anyone?

LOL. Thanks. Could have been. We lived over near Hulen but that was almost 20 years ago. It was my daily driver back then. I worked at Super Shops in River Oaks at the time. If it was more recent than that it was probably another dark yellow truck. I haven't really driver this truck much in the last 10 years. We moved to North East Dallas 15 years ago.

Re: Rarest Paint Color?
Not rare color, but rare color combo - medium blue and dark blue. Also, here is a few 2 tone olive trucks I've owned.

one thing that I noticed about the people who showed the bulid plates from the glove box door;all you guys have 5 or 6 numbers or letters pertaining to your bulid options.My 3 chevys only have a one number and two -three letters;example R99-fFACTORY 19.5 WHEEL OPTION and on my 1970 chevy it say;R90 FACTORY 18"whel option.and so on and the top right corner starts with536 and not with 3----- like every one elses.
