Was just planning on painting a portion to see if I like it. I know the original dune beige may be the right thing to do, but it's not like I am restoring it to stock....I am trying to build a capable trail rig.Most auto body supply places that mix paint can also put custom mixed colors in regular spray cans for around $20. Around here most Napa stores can do it. I certainly wouldn't paint a whole truck this way, but for just checking the color it would certainly work.
How 'bout this one.... It's from the ROTW t the top of the page.

Here's a Dune Beige 416 for you. Love the racing stripes. I hope that thing is sporting more than the stock 6.

Silver Lake it is. That was actually my first run with it since I picked it up the prior fall in Idaho. Been working on a number of issues the PO didn't resolve. I just pulled the rear jump seats and heater and installed a bench with lap belts, making it safer for the two young'ens! I love things original but this thing already had the 383sbc in it and I want to make it into a trail rig, not a garage queen. I am leaning back toward the original dune beige as the firewall is still that color. However I love the olive color and I have to do the whole thing over anyway as the "racing stripes" are even on the floor and the dashIs that Silver Lake? I go there every Memorial Day with my Cruiser.
Don't muddy the water....that first one is desert sand, dune was gone by 79!
