Beautiful truck and my favorite color. I'm building the same in a 1973 GMC Sierra but will be with white inserts. I'm about 3 months behind you though. Looking awesome. Mark

Nice work!

Looking very good.

Nice looking truck. If that is Light Camel Metallic and Santa Fe Tan, I have the same color combo.

**parrisc** · 10-21-2023, 07:43 AM

Hi I used the chart below for 1978. 61 and 81. And them modified them a bit. Love the color combo.
