    Whose truck was it?

    That is total spank bank fodder for me.

    Makes me rethink color matching my eventual 95-97 grille.

    Eh, the truck is all that matters :eek:

    As for cardinal red vs sunfire red, I looked up both colors production years and am now thoroughly confused. I'll leave it at that.

    I feel champagne gold would be a nice color. Or a coyote brown or desert tan. I don't know, maybe I am just retarded.
