RED 73 K5 Owners- Check in please

[FWP]

Do you have a paint code? I've looked everywhere, on the truck and online. I'm willing to bet GM only used one color red for the K5's in 73.

my '73 Z-28 is factory red..................I can get the code off the fisher body plate.

Might be the same? I dunno.

 

[FWP]

That would be great. Let's see if it's the same as a K5

 

[DEMON44]

paint code is 75 - Medium Red

this is the paint........original 30 year old paint.

Looks really close- Let's see if anyone with a K5 has a code. Thanks eh!

There are 3 different reds:

....I was thinking the cars and trucks might have different codes........but I'll bet that *514 Red is the same color.

That pallet is for chevy trucks in 73

 

[DEMON44]

ya I dig it.......I'm just saying that.....*514 Red on the truck chart looks REAALY similar to *75 Red on the '73 Camaro chart.................

Cool site. Thanks! Let's hear from the 73 K5 owners.

I'm going to top this thread every once in awhile, in case those with a Red 73 K5 don't get on very often.

If it gets annoying, PM me please

Well, fwiw, it was called "Crimson Red" in '73:

then go to Blazer, and the last page. But no details past that, I'm afraid.

Ah, yes. It is 514 Crimson Red...

Go to Truck, page 2.

HTH.

Aaron, you are DA MAN How could I forget about your site, I'm not too bright I guess

Many thanks also to Demon44 and lak2004 (since I don't know your real names)

514 it is

No problemo, I knew the red had to be that same or really similar. I figured there couldn't have been THAT many GM reds in '73
