| This baby is BLACK inside, paint code is 526 000 it's a 1964 model. Came into the port in LA, was purchased in the high desert in Barstow 20 years ago. M codes are 428, 025, and 181. Figures, I've got a perfect set of painted hubcaps for it. Anybody heard of paint code 000? |

Looks stock inside, a fallen CHP officer owned it in the 80's I think it might have belonged to the CHP first, so you might be right about special order paint. Anybody ever heard of a CHP crewcab? The funky wheels are rollers, all the 14's on it were flat.

526000
special order / westy code
5 export model 26 single/double cab
000 would be paint
001 was usually black
the other way to read this code would be 52 lower color 60 upper color 00 interior... but I've got nothing for those codes. |

| The inner pass. side headlight bucket has black paint, can't see any paint codes. Wherever the black is peeling, it's rusty metal from sitting outside, can't even see any primer. Weird! I can see some tape lines on the edge of the white paint, so probably done after it got here. |

I'll add 000 as black too.
Does it look to be solid black top and bottom originally? |

It does look black top and bottom originally, I've never seen crude tape lines on an original two tone bus, and the frames were left black. I think they took it to a body shop, pulled the window frames and popouts and put the white top on.
This is great, if I want to do a correct restoration, I'll be driving a black truck in California with no AC with chrome hubcaps. I'm definitely going to find sources for dry ice for next summer! |
