Paint color and lettering question
 
Hi all. A few questions:

1) Were the letters CHEVROLET on the tailgate always painted (off) white?
2) When these letters were painted white, was the "white" the same color as the interior white (I believe that was Sand Beige (Dupont color 93-57821))?
3) When was the window area of the cab painted white, for which RPOs? And is this white the same as 1 and 2 above?

Thank you!

I'm thinking from this it may be Bombay Ivory Scroll down to what should be page 102 https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/doc...2nd-Series.pdf

Thank you, I forgot about this reference. Bombay Ivory is it for my Commercial Red truck.

The GM Heritage archives should be the first source for folks to go to looking for specs or oem info on their trucks.
