73 Black?
1 Attachment(s)
Was this a less common color for 73? I found the 500 Midnight Black rpo , but the 73 sales brochure, or info packet from GM Heritage center does not show it to be standard?? My pickup is definitely nothing to write home about, but I do like the fact that it might be an oddball of sorts.

Yeah, I don't recall seeing a black 73 before.
Those grills are tough. Most that I have seen are still in decent shape. |

Very interesting indeed! :) 500 black was an option on series 40-90 only in 73, not light duty. So, I'd have expected you'd have a Special Paint code on the SPID rather than the color RPO. Kinda breaks from precedent. As a data point, very similar situation for me with a 76 I had - EXCEPT it had the Special Paint code. It was 88 orange, and in 76 that was only available on series 40-90, so the SPID made sense.
Anyway, you've got an original black 73 and that's pretty awesome! |

"9V1" would be an "SEO" (Specialty Equipment Option), rather than an RPO (Regular Production option), based on the Number/Letter/Number configuration. My guess is somebody used a fleet code to put black on the '73 Light duty truck. Going from memory but I don't think black was a regular production color until 1975 model year. K |
