Restoring a 72 B200 Tradesman van, it does not have the brightwork bumpers/grille and all that but would be the white paint. I'm curious if there was a code for this, did they use Alpine white or just implement grade. I notice sometimes its not a bright white either, a little bit a of a cream tone. thanks

I may be wrong but I don't think EW1 is the color of truck/van bumpers & grilles. As MonGoo$e said, it's more of a cream color. Tim

I am not an expert on vans, but for what its worth.... In the 72 truck parts catalog they only list a chrome bumper or a bumper "primed" for the B vans. Same with the grills. For the trucks they do list a white bumper, chrome, or in "prime'.
On the front cover the van in the picture has a body colored bumper.and grill. Not white. I would say if your bumper was white, its the same as body color for that year.
I would also agree that the white used was more of a cream color and after about 74 it was a lighter white color.
I am more familiar with trucks. With these the white used was more standardized. If the truck had white bumpers it had white wheels and mirrors that were all the same color. More cream in the 60's and early 70's. brighter white some time later...74?
I know I have seen many vans with white bumpers, rims, and body colored grills. I'm sure they were factory done like that. So why wouldn't they have painted white bumpers ready to go for the parts department?

The stock steel wheels on my old man's '62 D100 were more of a cream than white.
