Sure.
RB= (R) 73-76 Light ginger metallic, 77-up Light jade (B) 73-75 Light blue, 77-up Dark jade metallic

I'm hoping your truck is a '77-up. I don't think a light ginger metallic and light blue truck would look very good .

Here's a limestone green (?) model that should've been sold here plus one out of the '73 Ford brochure.

Can't say these are "good" - but...
This is the lime-green beater I picked-up a few months ago.

This next pic shows the difference between the faded paint and what I buffed. I was pleasantly-surprised how well some sections buffed-out. There are a few areas that look pretty-close to factory-new. Granted – the exterior panels were not quite as bad as the inside bed – but the entire truck was faded-badly.

(not sure why the links are not working right??)

Hey I just noticed this truck has a spotlight on it, my '79 SC I just got has one on it too, I figured it was just from being owned by a heavy equip business but now I'm wondering... was this a factory or dealer option they did?
