SPID is long gone on my the body donor for my K20, but this body needs some minor repairs, a fender and a tailgate.

I'd like to maintain the look and preserve it, so I'm curious what the colors are.

I thought this was yellow and white from pics, but it's some kind of tan.

I believe these colors to be Colonial Yellow and Frost Beige.

What do you guys think?

The main yellow is Colonial Yellow, our 78 shop truck was that color so I remember it fondly. I thought the lighter color was a pale yellow, but it may actually be more of a beige or tan. I do remember that was a popular combo back in the late 70s; friend in high school had a 79 Burb in this combo.

I don't have a title, was sold to me as a 77.

Has an exposed fuel cap, so that's probably correct.
Does it have a VIN?

You could send it to the Heritage Center and get the actual build content.
