Re: 73 Cheyenne Super-before and "during".

Looking good. Is that the original interior color? If so man is that straight out of the 70's or what! I like it tho you don't see colors like that anymore.

That is the original color you see on the dash and firewall. The sticker says 'Lime Green'. I'm going to try to find a color close to that when I get it painted, whenever that may be. It's definitely a 70's truck!
