Very nice color of blue.  Is that the same as the original color or a custom mix?

It's great to see these old trucks brought back to such good condition.

When I brought to the paint shop I told the guy to get it as close to the factory color as possible. You can see the original color inside the cab. It was in good enough shape I didn't have to paint it. So it's pretty close to factory.

One more thing. I replaced the 79 headlight bezels with 78 head light trim. I like them better. I also bought my dash cap, door panels and chrome front bumper from Captkaos right here.

Gorgeous C20, and kudos for giving it a new lease on life. I like that you also kept it pretty factory looking on the outside.
