The color is Indigo Blue Metallic. A GM color used on various models.
I can get you the color code if interested, just let me know.

Cya,
Edmond

Lippyp · 08-30-2003, 12:24 PM

Very very nicely done Edmond, I wish mine looked that good. I think you've cheated and that is actually a brands new truck stolen from a museum somewhere!

Just a question, Have you ever been to the Power Big Meet at Vasteras in Sweden? I've heard it is a fantastic show and would love to go, if only I could convince my wife!

SCOTI · 08-30-2003, 12:29 PM

That's awesome! How about some center caps?

blazerboy72 · 08-30-2003, 12:35 PM

The color code for indigo blue metallic is mit s74. Nice truck

Thanks mate!

Yes I have been to Vasteras, twice as a matter a fact. in 2000 and 2002 (25th anniversary). It is the biggest meeting in Europe, or the world, as they claim. I haven't been there with the truck, I run on LPG and Sweden doesn't sell it, so we took the Camaro both times. Please try and visit it at least once, it's unbelievable!!
I want to go there again, maybe at the 30th anniversary in 2007

Well I have the center caps, bought on Ebay, but I can't find the nuts with the right outer thread.
I need 9/16" inner thread, and the local dealer only has metric for the newer trucks. Some one on the board pointed me out to a website which sold 9/16" nuts but they don't deliver outside the US. So I'm stuck with these ugly rims for the moment. I hope to buy some nice rims next year.

That's not the number I got, but it maybe a different brand?
I got this code: 39 / WA9792

Edmond

dion · 08-30-2003, 01:12 PM

oh hell yes, sweet rig! that color kicks ass.

blazerboy72 · 08-30-2003, 06:31 PM

The paint code could be a different company. Mine is indigo blue metallic too and that is the paint code they gave me.

dinnut · 08-30-2003, 06:58 PM

sweetest longhorn i have ever seen.

frost89434 · 08-30-2003, 07:24 PM

Very very nice!!!

72chevyLWB · 08-30-2003, 07:57 PM

Very well done. I see that nobody must make an 8 1/2 ft box cover though. I suppose its too late, but checkmate can custom make you one, but they are just under $600 by the time its to your door. I love that color too, I painted my 95 Chevy that same color.

put those screws in for the center grille support

SWEET RIDE

*Randy70C-10* · 08-30-2003, 08:59 PM

Wow, that's one of the nicest Longhorns I've seen, awsome job Edmond!!
