Beautiful truck. It looks like the 2 tone and the aluminum wheels were added at some point but what a find! Very nice!

Are you talking about the trim? My dad ordered a 79 suburban and it was a solid color with the trim. You could get that without 2 tone paint but I’m not sure sure if we’re talking about the same thing.

The RPO said split paint not 2 tone or did I miss something?

Maybe I missed something. I thought it said solid paint.

It does but it has a tan stripe down the side of it. To me that’s 2 tone or have I completely lost it and it’s time to start chopping?

That's why I said I don't think the two tone is original. It was all red originally.

It's original paint... its states solid paint, but next line note Carmine Custom xrr1. Carmine is the red, I guess the custom denotes the cream.
Another thing about the truck....it's got the dealer installed ziebart rust protection. What a mess everywhere. Be tough to get it back to factory look under the hood- drivetrain. Probably saved it from rust

solid in this case may mean non-metallic. AS far as a big ten short box, I have seen another years ago. I wonder if the big ten suspension package was ordered to unlock the 454 from the options list.

At the bottom right of the description plate is an order no
L8Q799....... I'm assuming a custom order, not sure how to track that down, but I'm extremely pleased with my find. I bought it from a picture only, thinking it had a 350.....pleasant surprise to find that Big Block!! Only 1 small scratch on passenger side , and 5 years of dirt and dust.
