Re: Real Ice Coral Pink

now that's a very cool find Greg, thanks for posting. I'm trying to picture what the reason for the white stripe between the pinks would have been there for in pic #2 (i.e. behind the weatherstrip kinda). Looks original but seems very odd and deliberate, but then again, I may just be seeing things. Are you saying that RPO code specifically means white/coral ice combo or was it a generic code that had the details called out on the purchase order or something like that? For some reason I thought the special paint codes didn't necessarily represent a specific color, rather just the fact that the actual painted color was a non-optional color for the vehicle. But the special paint stuff is a bit of a mystery to me, wish I understood the coding better.

For what it's worth, even though the overpaint blue two tone on this truck wasn't a combo that was available until into the square years - I always wished it was available in 67-72, it's by far my favorite squarebody paint combo.
