The majority of the auto paint suppliers now have a machine that will determine the matching color. Take your truck there and have some made to order. It will be closer than something pre made off the shelf

And if thats not fresh paint its faded some so mixing up a factory might not match.

Looking into the GM archives, 1981 Chevys (nothing readily available on GMCs, but I think they'd be about the same?) came in a Burnt Metallic Orange (code 95).. but I agree with the other guys, definitely let the auto paint place use their magic to supply you with a better match
