Its a 10 bolt. im pretty sure that decoder gets ****** up by canadian vins cause it says i have the oil cooler but there arent any lines going to it, and a few other things arent right, i dont have the air pump and theres no sign of it ever having one, and i have the regular black mirrors but the doors might not be original as one has a sierra panel.

That is from the GM EPC. It is very very rarely wrong. If you are missing the oil cooler, it was probably deleted. I has been 22 years since it was built after all.

I dont know. Vin decoder says my truck was light antelope metallic in color. Headliner is out, dash is out, and I cant find a shred of tan or beige, (antelope metallic) anywhere. Trucks red! Everywhere. 94U, exterior color, primary, light antelope metallic. Every other rpo code seems to be spot on, just this one seems wrong. Unless someone did an amazing paint job on this truck, which I highly doubt.

Lone star thunder has it right, 94u, cherry red metallic.

Crazy, so mine is currently black, but shows red underneath some chipped paint and firewall. RPO code... 94U! I really want it to be light antelope, it's a 90 rcsb

Where did the misunderstanding of this paint code begin? I tried to follow it but as noted it's an old post and one of those vin decoders page that was referenced is no longer around.

For 1990 the code 94 paint is medium red metallic, as you've found under your black paint. It was offered from 1990-1995 and then again in 1999 (possibly on a Silverado "Classic".) "Light Antelope" was not an option for gmt400 trucks. Remember that color codes just like RPO codes get recycled over the years and can mean different things depending not only on year and model but also which GM division used them.
