Nice looking truck!
I am building a 48 2 ton as well. I have been looking for just the right red color to use for my cab. I want one that is not too bright and not to dark, about like the red you used for the fuel tank.
Do you have the color code?
How did you find the color, is it used somewhere else I may be able to see it in person?
Any idea how this color looks compared to the "Commercial Red" Chevy offered at the time?
Thanks,
Grigg
