What color blue is this on this 70 ford truck?

Post by dablack00 »

Ok, I'm talking about the blue truck that has 350 miles on it. I know the exterior color is grabber blue, but what about the darker blue on the interior? I looked on the 70 paint chip page and I can't tell if it is Acapulco Blue or Harbor Blue?

I will be starting paint and body soon, so I need to get ready.

thanks

Grabber blue (1970) became Bahama blue (1971) I assume because of no more grabber blue mustang.

I'm talking about the darker blue on the column and door panels. I think that darker blue is harbor blue. Yes? No? Anyway to tell?

Well, you could always read the description of the truck on the page...the color is mentioned. :wink:

Then read the following:

I'd say it is Harbor Blue, looking at the color chips... :2cents:

I agree with Thunderfoot, it appears to be Harbor Blue.

I'm going for an all original look. Even though the engine is a 460 and the data plate won't match the truck at all, I want it to look original from the outside and the interior.
