Orange?

[importkiller76]

Well I'm sure some of you guys know that I've been looking for another truck for a while now. Wife and I will be having a baby in November so she'll be driving the 08 Sierra and I've been looking for the right truck for me to drive back and forth to work. Don't need anything expensive. Looking for a 98-03ish sierra or silverado. I found one close to home here and it looks decent in the pictures. Decent mileage for a decent price (for around here anyways). The only thing I was wondering is if these trucks actually came in Orange in 2001? I know I've never seen one that color? I know some of the GM employees can help me out here! http://princealbert.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehic...QAdIdZ200712789

Yup

New for 2001:

 

* Two new exterior colors (Medium Pearl Green Metallic and Sunset Orange Metallic)

Love that color

[MS3DALE]

Yep,Love that color also,'01 was the only year Sunset Orange was offered on the GMT800 pickups (RPO code 71U)

They also offered it on the Avalanches later on.

[dogzapper]

Yep, Sunset Orange Metallic ... 71U Code.

 

Gorgeous color and not very plentiful anywhere.

How? the color came out in 01

[SeirraRR]

Looks like a real good truck. Like that color also. My dad had one like that one, same year.

[herkdriver007]

Ryan,

The only thing I can think of was that it was a late 00 model... I sold it in 2003, but I can look to find the VIN to prove it!

 

 

haha...FOUND IT

Hmmm... that color does not show in the color chart in the 2000 brochure.

[herkdriver007]

[jblakeney]

2001 SUNSET ORANGE MET.......... Here is the Jpeg of the mix formula for Martin Senour..... 71U or WA633H (same code different locations on the truck WA633H is in the door jam sticker 71U is in the glove box...)

 

Tec Base has 3 Alternate colors......

 

herkdriver007 your truck is a different year model.

 

2GCEK19V8Y1360797, your 10th digit is Y which is 2000, thus a different RPO code meaning.

 

Jbo

[herkdriver007]

no $hit its a Y code... I already said its a 2000 model.

 

I'm simply saying its Sunset Metallic Orange. It wasnt red...trust me, and I do have pics if you care to see

Back in '01 when I was still in school, my buddy pulled up one day with a new '01 Silvy in the sunset orange color. I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. When I went and bought my '02 a few months later, the color was no more.
