Some of you saw this being parted out on here...I couldn't take it any longer so I bought the whole truck!

Can anyone ID the special paint code 1001FC ?
Thanks, Reno

Vintage Windmills · 01-21-2011, 02:24 PM

Very impressive list of options/configuration!

1970 Bowtie · 01-21-2011, 02:27 PM

Cant help with the paint code,but some nice options on the spid.congrats.

I thought it was a shame to see such a rare loaded truck parted out- but didn't want to start any trouble. Hopefully out of all the parts you can at least get the glove box door back if you do intend to put it back together. Good luck!

Would be interesting to know more on the color.

Thanks Jim, this one deserves to be restored. It was sold new in Jacksonville so I'd say it's been a Florida truck it's whole life. My brother and I will take good care of it. It's going to take a lot of work and of course $$,$$$.00

1956cameo · 01-21-2011, 10:55 PM

Great job on saving a high option truck! There have definately been some trucks on this forum that had no business bieng parted out; and this would have been another one. How far gone was she by the time you saved her?

75gmc454 · 01-21-2011, 11:11 PM

We would love to see more pics.

NORMSCOLORADO · 01-21-2011, 11:59 PM

mabe its vermilion????? i have never seen a 4 didit code before and i went through all of the gm codes too i cant find it

rusty baker · 01-22-2011, 12:09 AM

The only reason that I don't sell my truck is because everyone wants it for parts. I just can't do that.

Sicklajoie · 01-22-2011, 12:12 AM

Those are some crazy looking cab lights.
LOVE those GMC's...

Longhorn Man · 01-22-2011, 12:18 AM

the clearance lights are aftermarket.
That looks like a pretty sweet ride. I looked at the photo and thought it was a 4X4, then I saw the 396 listed and was like what the...?
How much rust does it have?

75gmc454 · 01-22-2011, 12:31 AM

It has the marker light option on the spid. Those lights look like they came off of an international truck.

**too much stuff** · 01-22-2011, 01:14 AM

Glad to see this one get saved. Now if only you could find another glove box door....

**70cst** · 01-22-2011, 01:52 AM

RenoKeene on saving another one... Yes it does have a lot of options but I am glad when any of our trucks are save from the death of parting-itis! Keep us posted with pics!!!
