How to Find Your 1984 GMC's Color Code

GMC placed paint codes in many different locations, making them difficult to find, and GM did not standardize the color plate location across makes and models. Codes are often found in the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise they could be elsewhere. Typical format: 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC (e.g., BC/CC 51 or BC/CC 316N). Two-tone entries may use U or L for Upper or Lower (e.g., BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N).

1984 GMC Background Info

The 1984 GMC Vibe

1984 was a year for the heavy hitters-the C10-C30 "Square Body" was in its prime, the G-Series vans were the kings of the interstate, and the S-Series was proving that a small truck could still have a big heart. In our vault for '84, we've focused on the ultimate survivors: Bright Red and Tan. These weren't just colors; they were the uniform of the American job site. If you weren't hauling lumber in a red GMC, you were likely out in the fields in a tan one. It was a time of simple, rugged aesthetics before things got complicated with plastic cladding and too many electronics.

Paint Health Check

Since we're dealing with 1984, you're looking at the peak of the Single Stage Era. Back then, GMC was laying down thick, high-solids enamel that was meant to take a beating. But here's the reality: single stage paint is a living, breathing thing. Without a clear coat to act as a shield, the sun is its worst enemy. If your Bright Red looks like a pink chalkboard or your Tan has turned into a dusty desert floor, that's "Oxidation." The paint isn't necessarily dead; it's just suffocating under a layer of chalky, dried-out pigment. If you ignore it, the surface becomes porous, moisture gets in, and that's when the real rust starts to sleep-walk through your fenders.

Restoration Tip

The golden rule for 1984 enamel is simple: It needs wax or it dies. You can't just spray some modern "quick detailer" on 40-year-old single stage and call it a day. If you're doing a repair or a touch-up, you need to buff away that top layer of oxidation first to find the true color underneath. Once you've got the shine back, you have to "feed" the paint with a high-quality carnauba or a heavy sealant. Think of it like old leather-if you don't condition it, it cracks. Keep it sealed, keep it waxed, and that square body will still be turning heads when the 2024 models are in the scrap heap.
