You didn't say which orange so I'm going to guess that 524 Hugger/Red Orange is the shade of choice. So that gives us five possible stock color schemes.
524 solid orange
458 Deluxe Two-Tone with a white roof and between the belt and lower bodyside moldings. The "classic" Cheyenne paint scheme.
553 Conventional Two-Tone white roof only.
596 Special Two-Tone white roof and below the lower bodyside moldings (a Suburban scheme).
Then there is
565 Custom Two-Tone which would be a 524 orange truck with a black roof... factory.
As always custom arrangements and colors were available from the factory. Also in addition to the Hugger/Red Orange there was an International Orange (like Caltrans) and not to put too fine a point on it, a Yellow Orange

Not to take away from the thread : I thought the black roof was not factory? I guess I learn something new every post!

here is a close to Harley theme but not exact. It was on my Yammie.

Sunburst on Tuxedo Black, hint of Pearl and Orange Metal Flake clear coat.

the first one makes me drool - tangier orange. #2 is the overhaulin' paint job on the orange 72 from the tv show (he was at Brother's this year). The rest are quite ncie as well. I used to be a "white/orange/white/orange" #1 fan, but now I find I'm more of a simply "white/orange" fan with the solid body color. However, on 69-70, also love it when the white is added at the bottom as well.
(as you can tell, I think the stock combo of white and orange is hard to beat. Custom is ok if the truck is REALLY custom (just me) but a custom paint job on an otherwise normal stock truck almost seems out of place. You have a million options on the direciton you'll go with your 71, can't wait to see the result!

a few more, some members awesome rides included, like Dantip's and Yote's (I think):
