Hi everyone! Hope everyone is doing well this howl-o-ween. I have moved on to painting my 1986 c10 that originally came with the ZY6 paint option. I have included a photo of how it is supposed to look. Does anyone know where I might be able to find the measurements and also possibly purchase that red decal that goes around? Any info would be super helpful.

I can't help with the measurements, but I do have a question. I thought that stripe package was only available in '85?

@bucket you are absolutely correct. I don’t know why I always say 86 :rolleyes:
I think it’s a force of habit since my paw has always had an 86. From what I’ve heard it’s not a common paint scheme so I have a feeling that it’s going to be a bit hard to find additional specs. But there’s a little hope. There’s a 85 C10 for sale about 45 min from me and I asked the seller about allowing me to measure the stripes and check locations and he said he would see when he had time. Fingers crossed that he contacts me. If he does I’ll make sure I post all the measurements here.

Just make it look like the picture. Nobody is ever going to check it. It looks like the body line on the bottom, the top of the bed on the back and just above the door handle on the door and just follow it through to the front. I wouldn't let that hold up progress.

At the last race I had a guy ask if my Chevelle is a '73 or '74, and I said '73.

I have no idea why I said that! I've been telling people it's a '74 (which it is) for 45 years.

My mind must have been somewhere else.

@dusterdude i will definitely PM you this weekend. Also I was having a conversation with another C10 enthusiast at a gas station this past Monday night and he told me that there’s a 1985 insurance claim book or something like that, which has all the measurements, paint codes and other info. to the various paint schemes. Have any of you heard about such a thing?
