My 3800 is going to be Maroon when I get to that point. easiest decision I will have to make on it. Plus, cape maroon was a stock color and nearly Aggie Maroon so it will pass as original or an Aggie's truck. 1949 Chevrolet 3800 1-Ton In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix on Photobucket Follow the Restoration on my BLOG
