I had no idea what you meant, but I searched and found this. Geunther's truck looks like a similar pattern to the one in the lower illustration.

For my opinion, I say it's not worth preserving the specific paint scheme if you prefer something different. Document what you have in a build thread or album, but make it your own. Pick your favorite factory paint colors, or mix-n-match between any of them as well. These are pickup trucks that are still available in large numbers. They're quite unlike a 1957 Corvette that really should be kept true to original.

Then again, I'm biased. Note that the truck in my signature has almost nothing in common with its birth year anymore.
