It has had a few colors and I'm not sure which is correct. I think the primer was black, but not sure.

In every old truck i've seen, the original body color was visable on the firewall or in the door jams (unless it was fully repainted)
an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

Can you still buy the original colors, or do you just get it close? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,682 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,682 | There was a thread not too long ago that had a link to a page with the different colors used.. as I recall there were a few different flavors of red.
Use the search function on the board (use the one just below the "post reply & post new topic buttons) and search for "color codes" and that will yeild alot of good info and numbers for outfits that can supply you with factory paint colors.
