Welcome man, the crew cabs are cool, like big land yachts, why airforce blue though, OD green or Woodland camo is much better. Or my personal fav Desert Digital. There also a slew of other options out there and im more than sure someone on here will know what the color is and be able to help you out. Captain

i've actually thought about some type of a camo paint... this truck screams for some type of 'different' paint job, you know...? thought about a camo with leaves on it, to blend in when i'm wheeling it... i've thought about a 'high impact' camo, and i've thought about a 'tiger' style paint, but with a lime green instead of orange...

Your truck looks like it used to be a Air Force truck that was used on the flight line. I might have been used to clear the runways of stray animals. I used to do that when I was in the Navy at Miramar.

Welcome!

Definitely a USAF truck....that Airdrome sticker is a dead giveaway (plus it's the right color!). :) Looks nice and straight.

I hope you stick with the USAF blue...everyone paints theirs camo. Whatever you do, make it yours.

thanks for the great welcomes all...

is there any way to ID what base it was at...? i picked it up near NYC, actually it was an Orange County DPW truck for a while...

and yes, 4 doors are great... big enough for the family, and hell my hot rod is a 4 door chevelle, too...!
