I think it's a version of Electric Blue, but keep in mind, it was on a truck with a custom paint job, which also incorporated a version of Mopar's Plum Crazy Purple.

I believe this is the same colour. This colour isn't common for sure. I've never seen one in person expect for mine. We'll it looks similar hard to tell with different lighting.

So I fixed some more of the PO's fingerprints over the past couple days. Been sorting out wiring and lighting issues. I've been having issues with the running lights not wanting to work right and after I wired in a new headlight plug I thought those problems were solved, I guess they weren't. On my way home from Sioux City yesterday froom getting a core Getrag for Dan's truck the running and dash lights quit again. So I dug into it today and found a bad splice in a wire coming from the switch so that got fixed and I also found the PO never hooked the ground back to a switch so when I put a switch in a while back I never saw it till today. Now the dome light works with the switch and running lights work as they should, for now. I also fixed the cargo light so its in working condition now. The original switch must have stuck on so they unplugged it, after a trip to Marks for the correct 93 cargo light switch and a nicer cargo light every thing there work like the factory designed it.

The truck now has different back window in it after a little mis hap with a buddys 4 wheeler.

IT DIDN"T BLOW UP!!! Only issue was a brake switch rattled loose so cruise wouldn't work, Fixed it on the side of the road then proceded to twist my knee in a way it was never designed, that made the last 150 miles of the trip fun. However even though I'm in pain now the trip was awesome. Got to see some country I havn't seen since I was knee high and got to see a new state I havn't been to before. Other than that the truck is really comfy with its bucket seats, cruise and added wheel base. This will be my new trip truck. I actually had to lock er in in the icy hills of Wisconsin.

The highlight of the trip was when Me and pops stopped in New Ulm Minnesota and Visited our favorite Brewery. I got a hat and a couple shirts in the gift shop but sadly this is the off season and only do tours of the brewery on the weekends. I did stock up on a few beers I like though that are hard to find localy.


I'll have some pics up shortly.
