Yeah , that's what my Son calls it to Ed. This truck still has some of its OG Palomino paint yet, the doors, cowls, roof, hood and grille surround are day one paint but they chalk up pretty fast . Ive hand rubbed the paint a couple times and it returns to original shine and color very nicely.

I have the code but its at my painters shop. Keep on me and Ill get it to you. It took 2 months for a paint guy to get it this close , slight slight shade difference to the OG paint on the doors but that may be because of what Ed said, being out in the Montana sun all its life. Still it just looks so unique in this two tone combination.

Also would like to ask you GMC guys this question. Unlike Chevrolets, GMCs don't have a stamped paint code on the interior tag. What other ways have you guys found to confirm a trucks true colors ? I've seen some chalk mark codes , anything else besides the obvious original paint that might be left behind ?

Anyone know on a 62 where the paint code might be located? This is pink or salmon colored. Would like to know the name and code of this color.

Took only 15 minutes to mount the bed, took about 4 hours to get it all lines up. I had to loosen the cab mounts (too tight) and shim up the bed just a hair.
The chain Pivot, Tail light housing.
The tail light lens still has dried Hurricane Katrina mud which I left a little bit as a memento as the truck has been through **** and HIGH WATER.
The Tailgate with the correct reflective silver (Not white)

The color is Palomino Tan, PPG paint no. 22145 which can be cross linked to Dupont or Sherwin-Williams at most Automotive paint stores depending on what brand they carry

Thank you big block v6. To my eyes, this is as pink as pink can be and I'm certain it's faded. After posting this last night, I googled palomino tan and thought I was going color blind! Thanks again!

That is an amazing job you are doing on that truck. Spent a couple hours last night reading your build thread. Very nice!

I did a little research on the 60-66 GMC Colors a while back. Look for a thread called "1960-66 GMC Paint Chips". It has all the colors by year with color code numbers. Another thread called " 1960-66 GMC Color Codes" lists all the 1960-66 GMC Paint Regulations that I have run across. BigBlockv6 is in the know on this paint end of things too. He is a good source of info to tap, and he has helped me with paint questions I had. Love the suburban. That Palomino Tan looks pink to my eyes as well. We must have too many rods and cones in our eyes or something. GM

I agree that Palomino Tan is on the pink side, it was used from 62 all the way up to 68, which was the last year of GMC exclusive colors in the truck line. 60-61 trucks were Mesa Tan, a bit more brown but when faded with age a little pink tone is noticeable
