Unfortunately not,  I did check the link out but resulted in the same as other sites k have been through looking at the Rpo codes.
I believe it is the 8601ae and 8601ab calling out the locations of the 2 tone on the side and hood. Most of the Rpo lists have colors like 86U which calls out Wheatland Yellow however it sure doesn't look like Wheatland Yellow on my truck more of a gold metallic. And 01 I can't find reference too at all.

86 is midnight black '75-9, maybe more years. 001 is also midnight black in '78, maybe more years. I think somebody added the two tone at some point.

It wouldn't be beyond a dealer to two tone a truck to make it different from everybody else or possibly a special package just for your dealer zone. I'm originally from Pittsburgh and remember seeing a 'Steeler Edition" truck during their Super Bowl years, never seen another one.


If your family bought it new, is the dealer still in business? Stop by and ask
