original paint colors please

[boynton]

1 I am looking for original paint colors/combos listed by year

2 I am looking for pictures of these paint colors.

I recently bought a "light yellow" 1970 short step from the original owner in original paint. The truck needs a complete repaint and the cab is probably going to be scrapped due to the needed repair. I would build the truck back original but 1 I dislike yellow 2 the original block is completely rusted-no heads and intake for 10+years=giant paper weight. I think I want to go back with an original color, but probably not the original color. So far I am thinking dark green bottom/light or olive green cab using the original two tone paint lines. I am open to all pictures/suggestions. This will not be a stock build but I want to keep the stock exterior look plus some aftermarket wheels or possibly stock rallys. But back to the paint...

I am most interested in stock colors so please no pictures other than those.

Just for clarification I know what color my truck was originally. I am looking for ideas to change to. I also thought we could create a good database of info and pictures to back up the data.

TCP had pictures of the old PPG books with color chips of all the factory paints.

Here is the generic info packet for a '70 Chevy pickup from the GM Heritage Center archives.

It will show (in words/chart form) all of the available color combinations for that model year.
