Tahoe — GMT400 (1995–1999)

1997 Factory-verified

the 1997 kit p.5 and p.7 name Medium Opal Blue Metallic (#24) as a new 1997 color and the 1997 order guide p.28 prints Blue, Opal Med (Met), which is the reading kept; the Tahoe color tables do not offer 24U in 1998 and 1999, so those years are not claimed

This page aggregates every documented appearance of 24U in the Chevrolet reference. Confidence and citations are shown per application — the same code can be better documented in one year than another.
