Re: 1970 color code
hilandr452, its possible because of the BX2 custom lower side molding option, but with the special paint option listed on your spid, I'd say it was special ordered with a desired paint scheme, so all bets are a gamble. Originally gold and white top, well so be it, I can't decode the special paint number to anything from the data book or my knowledge. Though I'd like to think if i looked at enough spid's with special paint as an option I could make a reasonable assumption that ...hmm...and hmmm some more....., makes me think and wonder if thats what they did to have the paint as white on top and white under the bottom trim, and have the main color on the mid and upper body but on a truck with no upper molding which may or may not be your case. Been a while since I jumped in on paint threads, can't remember if I've thought about those plausibilities at the moment, and it's a GMC long horn to boot too add to the quest. lol, gettin lenghty here, maybe it should have been its own thread.
tcb-1 the 1970 code for olive green (metallic) and white top is 534, which is known as a two tone package. 1970 had olive green, dark green and light green paint available.
