Need Help determining original 77 color (1 Viewer)

[FJsnoozer]

The paint under the repaint seems to have a yellowy beige look to it. However, the floor pan and a pillar going up about 4-6 inches from floor look to be original paint and definitely Dune Beige. Was it ever normal for a lighter beige cruiser to have the floorpan ( under seats and feet) area sprayed a different color?

nope.

No, not as far as I know.

They used a yellowy primer in the late 70's (and maybe other years)

Maybe that's it. The paint at the hood vents has chipped off. But this floor area is definitely dune beige. There was no dune beige in 77 based off the chart from Ccot. Where would I locate paint code on the truck?

I'll either go with dune beige, year specific beige or, flat desert tan.

Get a flashlight and look up under the dash.
