[Pic] What color and how low is this truck?

From my experience, I would say it's got 17's with a 5/7 drop, with admiral blue paint..but I could be wrong...I want my truck to look EXACTLY like this truck (except the grille, cowl hood and rims of course)

I would say you are correct on the drop and wheel size. Where did you get the pic from? If it's from event coverage maybe you can locate a better pic on another site....

To me it looks like the blue they use on the 3rd gen Iroc Z's or the Ram pickup with the white stripes.

I too think it is IROC blue.

It appears to be a 5/7 drop.

Yeah, it's not that color. I had that on my 97 Crewcab. It was much darker, and looks purple at times...
