Anybody have a clue what color my truck is?

I am unable to identify this color. By looking at the door sills and inside the cab, firewall, etc. it looks like the original color. However the paint codes in the glove box don't jive. The paint codes found in the glove box are L8265 U7475 and also 61L and 72U. This truck definately is not original as it has Mid 80's interior and Cheyenne Super badges so who knows. Any help from any one would be appreciated.

Re: Anybody have a clue what color my truck is?

if you realy want to know, go to your local paint shop. ans ask if they can put the camera on it, it comes up with the closest color. we use sikkens at work and our supplier has a camera, they just put it against the paint and it finds the closest colr. good luck.

Go to a local auto paint dealer.They should have camera(forget what it is called)that they put directly on the paint and it will tell you the color that is closest to what you have.Some body shops may have one too. Looks like nuke1 got to it first!

It's just a shadow. The holes are all circular.
