Original paint code for my 1970 c10

[SS Tim]

Vendor trade names on chip charts often not correspond with GM internal paint names and almost never match the years "sales" names.

Earlier tonight I did find in my collection another 573 truck SPID, Assembled in Janesville, note the very different appearance and layout.

Attached are a few pictures. I have gone thru the engine and and trans and have started on the body work. Its not real bad but does have some areas that need attention. The tailgate was the worst. Had to use a donor. The engine was in pretty good condition. Oil valley was clean, no major gummed up areas. Checked the bottom end and all was good and within factory tolerances. Did put new lifters, push rods and had heads done. Rebuilt carb and painted everything. Fired the engine up and had 40+ oil pressure. Used original plugs, dist, points and coil. Will be replacing patch panels over the rear wheels next week.....will keep adding pics as I go. Oh and I have just started working with a MIG welder....keeping fingers crossed.
