Title: Paint options for 1987
Post by: Daytona#3895 on October 05, 2011, 07:29:48 PM
I have a 1987 Chevy V-10. It is dark blue in color. All the paper work for the truck is non-existent along with all the tags except for the vin. The floor boards are the original color blue and the truck was painted to match several years ago. Does anyone know what color blue this is and the color option? Did they offer more than one shade that year?

Thanks

Hate to hijack, but Chris, where do you find those codes? I'd like to find the code for the Kilarny Green on my 74.
