Looks like the same color as yours! Factory! any idea where you can even get this color? I might try to repaint my bed in the spring!
It is called "Westaway Tan" in the dealer brochure. You may find a GM document online that associates the color name to an actual color code if you look around a bit. A good automotive paint shop will have some sort of reference book that does the same.
The difficult part for me would be deciding whether to repaint the bed to the original color, or to let the painter just use his judgment and paint-to-match my truck's 38 year old suntan..
At some point before I owned it, the bed of mine was spraypainted a single thin coat of flat black. It looks pretty good actually - It's probably the next best thing to the original orange - and it's slowly wearing back to it's original color. I decided repainting the bed of a truck was like pissing into the wind, so I'm gonna be patient and reclaim the underlayer one load of stuff dragged in-and-out of it at a time.
