The color is a GM Color WA382E Alternate 8, Pewter Met. I am using a Martin Senour Paint and that paint code is 54690 Alt 8. There are a lot of alternates which can look completely different. I took a lot of time finding this color and I must say the more I get painted the better I like it. My wife also like it!!

I like it alot, except the fact that it is a GM color. 
Anyway, I can't wait to see it when it's all finished. It looks like it is really coming along nicely for you. Can I drop my '69 off next?

No, I haven't found it yet. It just got a little fender rust and some cab mount rust. Other than that it isn't too bad. A few dents here and there and some paint. Still probably be $5,000 or better at a body shop.....

Just a quick update. Box and Tailgate are painted! Dropped off Cab and Chassis for paint. All that is left for completion is the Hood and Right Rear Fender and all will be done! I will get some pictures this weekend and post. It LOOKS AWSOME!! I do need to find that money tree though.
