Re: Just pulled this 72 out of the weeds has "special paint"?

That special paint could be any color under the sun. I mean, not necessarily a GM color at all, but a color a business uses no matter what brand vehicle they buy. Sears used to put a similar color on their trucks. Your best bet is go to a paint supply house and have them scan it.

So this was bought from the original owner? The truck body place would have painted and installed the bed. I just wonder, if this is original paint job, when the door mirrors were added and the holes for the original mirrors filled.

You won't know if that's an HO52 or HO72 till you go to get brake parts. I don't know why anyone would do that swap (unless original rear blew) because they are the same rear
