Now that would be a sleeper .

Everybody has a red/black/green/white/aqua/blue truck .

I may end up doing my '67 GMC in Palamino Tan, which is more of a flesh tone pink color like a Palamino's as.... I mean lips. You don't see trucks being done in that color and it was a common factory color from the '60s into '67. Maybe leopard skin upholstery

The truck I'm deep into now I've decided to paint 1968 Corvette Safari yellow . The truck yellow has too much of a green tint for me and the Safari yellow has enough yellow base to make the chrome pop .

Just about any color was available back in the "special order days" Special paint on the spid could be any available color

I really like the idea of a Ice coral pink 67 short bed with white trim and lower mouldings .

That would look cool.
What's up with Clearance Lights in the leading edge of the hood, not the cab roof -- that I see on new trucks? I would be afraid of a low hanging structure taking off the upper cab.

When I see "SPECIAL PAINT" on spids, every conceivable color is a legitimate.

With a plaid yellow seat But seriously, the pink is really cool, I never knew they existed until today.

I started this post in 2017 and said ithere were never any Chevys painted pink. Well never say never and seeing this thread pop up today I realized i had info that someone had found one a year or two ago with the spid to back it up. Apparently everyone in the area where the truck was, picture of it in the field, and it had been sitting for years and someone just went and made a deal on it and didnt know it was an original pink/white as someone over the years went to a lot of trouble to cover the pink color. SP0041 Specal Paint Code is the pink/white 2 tone RPO.

Tim, Two weeks ago, I drove by this '71, only it was pre-fire and looked very nice from the street. I had seen it many times but never when someone was home until today. I sopke to a hispanic man for 15 minutes about it and thought we understood each other...but we didn't...he turned out to just be working on the owner's yard, who was not home, so I haven't a clue to what happened (electrical maybe?). Anyway...the SPID was lost in the fire...but would this be Palamino Tan? In any case...it was very sad to see, however, I'm sure it can be resurrected!
