Below you will find everything you should need with the exception of outside body paint colors. Years ago I left that part out in deference to Bob Adler who was at the time THE one-stop place to go for purchasing this information. I try not to get in the way of people making money. But these days, the reason I don't have that information here is because I just haven't gotten a round Tuit. Stay Tuned and I will get to it as soon as I have time. Go and visit Bob's site. Another very good source for paint information for these trucks is Tim Lederman's site.

NOTE: The color codes are for modern versions of the older paints!
