JMO413 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Welcome to the club. Rear would be a Dana 35. The Dana 30 is the front axle. Looks like a nice start for sure.

Inside the cab and engine bay. Was a bad paint spray paint job and it is peeling in a lot of spots. Tailgate is not red it is black but not jet black almost like a really really dark gray borderline black. 16 hours ago, jdog said: looks solid, your grill is upside down tho. Welcome Had not even noticed.

I don't get how some 87-88's will pull a BE paint code but others(like mine) won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen several repaints of Colorado Red that look a bit too... vibrant. way more eye-popping of a shade than my stock 88. did something change at some point in time either in the codes or the shade of the color?

All I can say is Chrysler changed the code of CR from AMC's BE to HE4 and I think Chryslers version of CR is a shade more vibrant than the AMC color but I am willing to bet though that the paint got darker with age. Actually if anything my floor boards looked exactly like what mine looks like now on the outside so I am not certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
