There is a metal plate on the left kick panel. Under the word "PAINT" is the number 115. What does that tell me? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | it tells you to look at a '64 paint chip sheet and see what color the 115 code indicates .... somebody here might have one, or a good paint supplier might have books that go that far back

Thanks. On further inspection I realized that the paint code was actually to the right of the word paint. It was kinda difficult to read the information on the plate in the dark with a flashlight. Beside the word paint is RPO533AC or RPO533AG. With this "new" information, I went online trying to find a sheet with that paint code. No luck thus far. I now know that RPO stands for Regular Production Option. Part of my problem may be that my 'Burb is 2 tone. Above the doors it is some shade of white and below that it is kind of turquoise.
Bill Cain | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | RPO in this case means "option" more than "regular production", the letters will indicate the particular 2 tone pattern of the color numbers, and an original era color sheet will specify that, see here, choose make and year, the 2nd sheet shows the paint #s for 533 if you're looking to touch up, rather than completely repaint, those numbers won't help, you need to take something with a good sample of the color to a paint store that can match it Bill | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 100 | As a followup to this original post, I have just acquired a 1964 C10. The following information appears on the vehicle plate mounted on the inside of the driver's side door panel. I am struggling to find information to determine what the codes mean. Can anyone help me?
TRIM Z62AA
PAINT 549AD
WB 127
This plate has obvious age, so I hope I have read the codes correctly.
Thanks in advance for any help.

figured out. Randy | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 32 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 32 | Z62 is the custom cab. I don't know what the AA means but there were really only two choices, standard and custom. | | |
