Help finding mid 70's BURNT ORANGE C-10 paint color
« on: December 02, 2009, 07:07:54 pm »
Hi,

I'm having trouble trying to find a "burnt orange" color that came on mid 70's C-10 4x4 stepsides. It wasn't a real bright orange and I'm not sure if it was metallic.

I remember a high school buddy had a fairly new C-10 stepside pickup of that color back in 1977 so I think the truck was probably 75 or 76.

Anyway, I have a 1980 4x4 that I'm restoring and want that color. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dyno

Thanks for trying to help. Those paint chip pages are not very detailed and the colors listed are for Chevy cars.

I couldn't find this link earlier, it's where I found the code for my '75.

Any jobber can give you the color with this info, it's the code they need.
