For the orange to look like Pete's truck you would want one of the factory codes below.
524 is the factory code for hugger orange (SPID Red Orange/ Sales Fireball Orange) applied as a solid. The Ditzler number is 2212
553 is the 524 as a Conventional Two-Tone (white roof/orange body). Ditzler 2185 white and 2212 hugger orange.
596 is the 524 as a Special Two-Tone (white roof/orange body/white rockers). Ditzler 2185 white and 2212 hugger orange.
For a 71-72 that would be factory on a Suburban only unless special paint.
458 is the 524 as a Deluxe Two-Tone (white roof/orange body/white side/orange rocker). Ditzler 2185 white and 2212 hugger orange. Pete's Truck!
For those that live in truly cold places there is the code 565. It is the 524 as a Custom Two-Tone (black roof/orange body). Ditzler 9000 black and 2212 hugger orange.
Finally remember there were two factory oranges (67-72), the other 516 is a true orange often seen on highway equipment and it will be simply "orange" as a SPID description. But it was available in the various Two-Tone patterns as well.

is 516 not referred to as Tangiers Orange?
