If “FC674M-special order” is the same thing as a "special paint" order - then that wording will appear on the SPID and it will be none of the paint colors listed in the data book for a Series 10-30. You can't work backwards with the seat trim color to figure out the paint candidates - it just means that whatever the paint is, the original was ordered with olive interior trim. The paint color for "special paint" is very often a same-year medium or heavy duty truck or panel/van color (C40+). For instance, in 1970, RPO 519 Dark Yellow was available on medium duty and above, but RPO 520 was available on light duty truck, so Dark Yellow would appear as "Special Paint" on the SPID in 1970 in that case. It's also often a reversal of a stock color two tone combo (i.e. white/yellow reversed). Is this a solid color truck or two tone? If the latter, how is it arranged? Or, can you post a pic of the truck and the SPID?
