Do we have any guesses on these colors? The Craigslist ad doesn't say anything. Here are some pics of similar (I know not all are short beds) :-)

I like the pinstripe on that red one. It mimics the 73-80 chrome.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

Here is my 78 Chevy Scottsdale I bought 1 week ago, already hauled 2 loads of firewood, one of my classic motorcycles, and a cab with a rust free floor/mounts which I'll graft into this cab-


It is a Chevy, not a GMC-

in the last 3 days ive been offered some pretty health sums for mine, not whats been put into it, but pretty darn close.

next project is to get one piece side wondows and the poppers put in. its had 4" chopped out of the cab. going to go with 1 piece windows to eliminate the wing vents.

was hoping pinks would come back around before long......LOL.....

I stopped by it a few times. Always a crowd around it. I finally caught it the second day a snapped a few pics. It had a lot of nice work done to it. I go to that show every year. Met a few board members there this year.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

My first post

My wife's new truck (1984)

If anyone recognizes this truck, I am looking for paint codes so that I can paint the tonneau cover.
(Built in texas around 2008, Dallas Cowboys colours)
