What color blue is this on this 70 ford truck?
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.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

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. 
Then read the following:

Well Keith, you could always read my post. I'm not talking about the exterior.
INTERIOR COLOR
I'm talking about the dark blue that is on the door panels and column. That specific color is not mentioned.

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

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

Yeah, the more I look, the more I'm sure it is harbor. I will post pics when I start painting.

re: What color blue is this on this 70 ford truck?
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.
