Are there any factory colors that don't have a code number? I am sure the bays have that going because I have one.

It seems that a fair number of 64-67 double cabs came in this color (as well as velvet green), as people moved away from Dove Blue.

Rarity of color epends largely on the model, commercial or passenger.

Dove Blue on a deluxe......super rare of know of 2 single color and 2 two tone
Postal Yellow on a deluxe.......super rare 1 special order
Black on a deluxe........super rare 4 single color
Fire Engine Red on a deluxe.....beyond rare 1 single color

Conversely,
Dove Blue on a commercial was on everything
Many Postal Yellow trucks and panels have emerged over the past few years
Black.....1 crew cab
Fire Engine Red......many single cabs, panels, a few crew cabs

So by far black would be the rarest for both models.

Purely my own theory Very Happy

I was told my dove blue 64 so34 was a rare-ish color scheme for that model.

Can anyone confirm or deny? Thanks!

Postal Yellow seems pretty rare to me. There is a slider postal yellow bus for sale in the classifieds Shocked


Save up, one penny at a time...
