RPO Codes

[blazing816]

Hey all, I am looking to start my frame up restro and I have all the originall RPO codes from the glovebox and I want to make the truck as original as it was before (other then motor). BUt I had some things I could not find and some things did not understand. Also the body was scrapped before I got the frame and glovebox so I know nothing. Anyway here are my questions:

1. I didn't find the paint code??
2. What is the trim package?? (aka Scottsdale, custom deluxe??)
2. What is B3W??
3. What is K19: Reactor System Air Injection??
4. What is Z88: Conversion, Name Plt GMC??
5. What is E6C: Country Gambia??
6. What is TFE: SALES INCENTIVE COMMITMENT PLUS??
7. What is YH7??



Thanks for the help to all.

Here is an attempt

1. I didn't find the paint code??
I don't see it on the sticker either. Here's what you should see...http://www.automotivetouchup.com/paint-codes/chevrolet.htm

2. What is the trim package?? (aka Scottsdale, custom deluxe??)

2. What is B3W??

3. What is K19: Reactor System Air Injection??
Smog pump and plumbing..an example http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairguides/Chevrolet-Nova-ChevyII-1962-1979/Emission-Controls/Air-Injection-Reactor-System/_/P-0900c15280081fe8

4. What is Z88: Conversion, Name Plt GMC??

5. What is E6C: Country Gambia??

6. What is TFE: SALES INCENTIVE COMMITMENT PLUS??

7. What is YH7??
BONUS VALUE OPTION PACKAGE....It means it was a year end close deal and they packaged a bunch of options together as a bonus to move the truck.

well thanks for the few you could add. The paint one is the one bumming me out the most. But I guess if I do not know the original color, it leaves it up to me to pick.

[CoggedBelt75]

If you feel like the paint on it now is the original paint and have a local Oreillys they may be able to help. Ours has a paint dept. and the guy that manages it has a scanner he can run across the paint and it will give out all the info on what needs to be mixed with what to match it. Just  a thought.

[blazing816]

That would work if I had the body....the body was scrapped before I bought it because it was "too rusty" So I only have the frame and the glovebox. But the glovebox is a gunmetal greay type color so maybe ill take the glovebox down to o'reilys. Thanks

I know this thread is a little old, but I have some codes that I can't find either. ZLB, XLB, YLB. I know 53L is Colonial Yellow paint but I didn't see it in the RPO codes thread. I wonder if that is a common color or not
