I don't see a 76 color code for orange, must be re painted.

Post a few pictures if you can. My truck is a 75, and it had factory orange and factory plaid.

There is a guy up in Washington who recreates the same plaid too. He kindly sent a sample, left hand side.

At $80/yd, I had to tell him I'll put it on my wish list.

That is westway tan paint.

Found a 77 sales flyer

Here is the front page to the flyer. Notice one truck has the heart rims and other add on parts. My guess is they are dealer installed.

The stock red oxidates to a really orange looking color. I have a couple of them and I would not call them red at this point, unless I'm looking inside at paint that has been out of the weather.

Well, the OP isn't crazy. I have a '76 also which has a mikado steering wheel, Orange(oxidized red), with that "red plaid". I would love to get the bench seat re-done. I would like to get in touch with the gy from Washington. :)
