Hi, Trying to see what my original pickup truck paint would look like new. Done anyone have a picture of: Paint code: 790 Trim: std For some reason I can't find one online. I have a few original panels that are faded now and it kind of looks pinkish. Thanks!

790 paint code was two tone. Lower was Sandstone Beige and upper was Bombay Ivory.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
