New to the site: Help with my 1979 C10 Chevy Sport

[79 Chevy Sport]

Hello, My name's George, and I just purchased my dream square body:A 1979 C10 Chevy Sport Stepside. In Red/orange and black. I went all the way from Md to Kentucky to purchase it from someone I met on YouTube. (Crazy Huh). Ive looked all through it in all the usual spots to find the paint codes,and can't locate them. Any help would be appreciated. Or does anyone know how many were made? Doesn't seem like many . Thanks

Welcome and congrats on the new find! I'd start off with the GM Heritage center for your year and model. That will give you some clue as to what was offered and some insight on the vehicle. Any other documentation on the vehicle being a Sport trim or? If the original options sticker is inside the glovebox, should show the RPO code iirc Z77 for a true sport edition. Everything looks like it's right for the Sport Edition. Yours should be a Cardinal Red (73) and Midnight Black (86) with a Carmine interior. Shown below is what looks like a late 1980 stepside (square headlights) with the same package.

Thanks so much for the response. Unfortunately there's no options decal in the glove box like there was on my 85 Silverado. Its got the hood ornament and what's left of where is says Chevy Sport on the driver's rear fender

Here's some more pics. Would the options sticker be somewhere else?

It very well could be. Depending on the person running the line that day, could be in the glovebox, under the dash, stuck under carpet etc. If there's some discoloration on the plastic inside the glovebox, could have been there at one time. But from the looks of it, definitely correct for the year and trim package. Very very cool find! Would love to hear more about it's history!

Welcome, that's a good score! Looks to be a mostly complete and original real Sport. As for the SPID sheet, I've seen several '73-80 trucks have them stuck to one of the inner fenders under the hood as well
