If you check out my myspace page, I have a bunch of photos of when my truck had a couple different blues, factory colors for 81, and of when I painted it, with a factory midnight blue I think for 81, and a factory silver for 85. I don't have the codes, I just went to the paint store, studied their book for the specific years, and picked the colors that worked the best for me. I could find the blue code though if you liked it.

I tried putting in a link but it's not working, look me up by Fastass350 or Chris Warren.

It was really that deep. That was in spring though, after it had a winter of grooming and snowmobile use. When it's like that I usually run 3psi in the back and 4.5 in the front, to help me from breaking through in the soft spots.
That light blue would be original for an 80 or 81 truck, if you find color charts that date back that far.

Brad, did you end up deciding on a color? If so, what did you end up doing? Or are you still on the hunt...

Well.The 86 got pushed to the back burner for a lil bit. The 99 F550, 96 F450, 97 F250 and the 04 ranger all need to be done first. I am hoping by the fall I will tear into it
