Does anyone know...

I am getting paint for my '72 C20. The glove box says the color is White/Medium Red and the option code is #544. Does anyone know what the paint code is for the white or the medium red? I am looking to get an original paint job...

I looked on that site, I'm not sure if I found it. I came up with "Body Color Code #70704". Is this the number I need to give to the paint place to get it mixed? The top of the cab is plain white, the rest of the truck is "Medium Red".

I'm pretty sure either one will work ,but I just looked at my paint invoice and they used the 2185 for the White .

If all else fails, remove your glove box door and carry it to your paint suplier. If they can't match it with the code (and they should be able to) then they can match it to the paint on the door.

My code was 565 Black / Red and it looks orange, I repainted it Hugger orange and white, codes 524 / 521 and the orange is very close to the original.
