Title: Factory Carpet Color?
Post by: Tony_SS on December 20, 2008, 03:53:03 pm

Is there a way to find out what the factory carpet color was in my 86? I need new carpet but there are alot of blues to choose from. I don't want to end up with the wrong shade. Thanks for any help.

I can't match it. The carpet in there now is too faded out to even tell what it looked like originally.

Yeah, maybe I'll cut out a square from under the seat and hold it up to the screen.  :-\

I like how the navy looks, but it might be too dark.

For a 1986 pickup, Light is 7766 BLUE, dark is 819 Blue.
If you order it from me you can put in the text field "I want factory dark blue" and I will get you the right one.  I call most customers on carpet orders.
