Re: Is the factory DARK BLUE 66' C-10 SWB BBW a RARE COLOR?

In my experience dark blue is a seldom-seen color these days, especially on original-paint trucks. I'm not sure if darker colors just didn't hold up as well over time or if they simply weren't as popular to begin with. Whatever the case, I sure don't see many dark color trucks with factory paint that's survived well. Here's my '66 Custom Camper in dark blue/white (code 538) still sporting it's born-with paint.
