Paint Code Question

Would the 522 paint code be for a white roof over medium bronze on a 1972 C10 truck ? I ask because the 556 paint code on my truck is a Dark Olive roof over a medium olive body and I thought all the 5 series paint codes were two tones with roof one color and body another. Would the factory put the paint code 522 on a spid with medium bronze with no other paint color.

Re: Paint Code Question

K, no responses yet so here is the truck and the spid. Is the paint code on the spid correct for this color combo. I thought because the paint code starts with a 5 it should have a white roof over the bronze body with no white down the fleetsides.

Re: Paint Code Question

522 solid med bronze/copper poly
551 conventional two-tone med bronze with a white roof
582 special two-tone med bronze with a white roof and white below the rockers

71-72 truck also had the
462 deluxe two-tone med bronze with a white roof and white between the upper and lower bodyside moldings

They are all the same body color, the code is simply giving us the useage too.

Thanks. I'd sure like to see a definitive chart with all the different paint codes. I thought all the 5*** codes meant a one color roof with different body color but I just learned that isn't so.
