by blackace Fri Jan 28, 2011 6:24 amI was wondering if there is any way to find out what the original colors would of been from the factory, say by the vin number, or any numbers somewhere else on the truck. I know on my newer Dodge, there is a code that has been placed under the hood that identifies what color it come from the factory in.

The only documantation is just inspect the truck real close to find original paint. Check under the dash. Behind the heater box is the best. You have to remove it. But then you know what color your truck was at birth!

haha I know whatcha mean! I'm not really sure what gears I have in mine, I've never checked. A previous owner put in the 318, not me.
