My latest find/question

[woodchk502]

Driving down the road and seen this thing leaning against a tree in a guys front yard. Picked it up for $150.

Any ideas on the color code? I dont think ive seen the orange before. Looks original like maybe it was on a county/state vehicle (my guess is not very long though).

Thoughts?

Looks like the same burnt orange my whole truck was painted. Just a wee bit more faded.

I would like to get it for the grille and headlights surround to put in my pool room.

I will buy the whole thing if its available, but only want the mentioned parts.

I kinda dig the orange. Looks OEM whats it called.

A lot better looking than my stupid yellow. Not even close to a factory yellow. And the PO painted the white dbl wall top black.

Most accurate view of the color will be in the side "jam" areas that never saw sunlight.

Take a little buffing compound to one of those areas to clean up any oxidation and see if you can match the result to the GM/GMC color chip charts.
