Re: 1970 color code

The gold inside the cab matches the gold my dad had on his 70 GMC, so I think it's the same. I've done some sanding on the hood and bed, but didn't take her down to the base coat below the trim.The outer layer of gold was definitely not original, because it was pretty cheap and they still left the original gold under that. (besides that, some moron painted the wood in the bed gold)

I'll eventually figure this out when I get ready to do the final body work before painting, but it would be cool to know what it looked like from the factory.
I plan to paint it with the white top, medium gold from there to the lower trim, and white below the trim. I am also looking to add the upper trim kit. That is a nice look.

There's a bunch of pictures on the site in my sig if you care to look.
