Default Am I the only one that got SOM?

Can I be the only Ls1Tech member with a Sunset Orange Metallic truck?

The color was only available in 2001. The color on the trucks was called Red/orange on the trucks (Because the term Sunset Orange Metallic was reserved for the Corvette and F-body's)

Paint code 71

Anyone?

Nope, I have one too http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=2131104783

Definitely don't see too many of them, that's for sure.

I've never seen that color on a truck except for yours. At first I thought it was custom paint. I always thought it was pretty cool.

I wish that I'd have known about that color when I bought mine. I've seen a couple here and there, but I think yours is the only RCSB that I've seen.

One of my favorite colors. I think they should bring it back.

I started to get one, but my dad said he wouldn't let me mod anything besides a 2wd cause he didn't see the point of putting performance goodies on a 4wd . So it was either get a Z71 in SOM and keep it stock or get the Yellow truck and be able to modify it. Sure would have been nice to find a Stepside in SOM but the yellow isn't too bad either I guess.

I dont have any production numbers but from what I do know about the color is that most of them where shipped to California. And finding one in the frozen northern states is next to impossible.

I wanted one before I bought my current truck. I wanted one with the dark charcoal grey leather. I even had them search for one in my area but they came up with nothing. The first time I seen it I thought it was custom paint too but then I seen more trucks with that color.
