Rare paint codes

[98chevy2500SS]

The interior is even a two tone red! It also has the 4 speed manual transmission w/ low first gear. Seems like a rare bird!

Nice! Definitely rare, I think (correct me if I'm wrong) you have the NV4500, which is rare in a half-ton I believe.

It's certainly not a very common two tone, my grandpa's 93 6.5 has this combo (certainly seen better days, loved riding in this truck as kid, it's what got me into the GMT400s), have only seen two other trucks with this combo in person:

That is certainly rare, and I forgot to throw in that is the scheme I've seen before -the inverse of mine. That truck was spotted in a scrap yard though. May it rest in [many] pieces.

Yah, pretty rare on a half ton to have that dump truck SM465 or whatever haha. Also rare to see a Scottsdale trim level truck with so many options like yours has. Reminds me of my own, definitely says "custom ordered."

The RPO code for the trans is M20. I have seen other half tons with the New Venture 5 speed transmission, but none with the 4 speed. It seems like the 4 speed would have been mostly put in the 2500s and 3500s. Does GM have production numbers available for these trucks? I am curious how many folks ordered trucks like this.

That's what I was thinking...crank windows, vinyl floors, but ordered with AC!

That's how my truck is. Only options it doesn't have are the Silverado trim package, power windows & locks and the Gov-Lock rear end.

Your truck has a plethora of other options as well; Bright rear bumper, tow hooks, the deluxe two tone paint scheme, up level front grille (Quad headlights instead of two), tape deck, 4x4, that dump truck trans (lol), the bright mirrors and the alloy wheels.

The NV4500 didn't come into play until '91. On half tons, the 5LM60 was the manual+over drive option and then the heavy duty trans you have. I think what you've got is the SM465, that may have only been available in 3/4 or one ton trucks though. Need another member to clarify.

Anybody have any idea on some rare paint codes?

I have a 95 k1500 that has the paint code wau9927

I've seen trucks close to the color but I don't believe they're the same.

I have a single cab 1995 1500 with wa-L9792U9790 which is two tone blue and I’ve never seen any other with it

 

[Obsgage1972]

What color would this blue be called? It was the original color on my stepside until the dipshit P.O rattle canned the entire truck flat black after he replaced a rear fender. I would love to get it back to this color,or maybe that teal so it'll match my sage green metallic honda lol
