Ok, does anyone out there know what shade of red the interior of our trucks came with? I have an 86, with the red interior, and cannot, for the life of me, find a close color chip. Thought it was canyon red, but thats a bit dark, (after buying three cans). LVP offers a "dark red" through LMC truck (37-8384), but the chip looks a bit closer to canyon. Or again, maybe I'm colorblind...

Don't forget, in 33 years of sunlight exposure, the color in your truck has probably faded a bit (and not evenly, either)...

Hi in the Cascades, Nearly- Redmond,Oregon
Few yr ago my dash cracked up by windshield defrost vent. I patched it, then went to WallyWorld & found their plastic spray can Tan something paint. Painted it & it matched. Been about 12-14 yr & it still works.
Last yr I replaced the Dr side uprite section by the door. Painted it with their paint again & I like it.

Edit: Coarse this was Tan

I got my red exact match from Autozone, brand was duplicolor. Gauge pod is a perfect match

Just re-painted a bunch of faded interior parts for 1980 Bull. It's dark red. Here's what I used.
