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

Wow! It's really coming together nicely. I thought it looked pretty good even when it was yellow... SO nice now with the factory paint colors and trim.

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

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