Im not sure if its an original color or if its factory in the slightest, but I have 2 fenders and 30% of a cab painted in a unique two-tone of blue and silver. And its kinda nice looking, would have like to see it finished. One fender is faded but one is in its original intent and just dusty. I can show them if you would like.

Here’s my ‘85 with factory 2 tone blue and the SPID.
I’m not sure what ”Blue Custom Clo” could mean, but I assume 123D is the darker blue and the 121L is Light Blue Metallic.

The truck used to be a long bed, you can see where the guy that did the work spotted in the fresh Light Blue Metallic, as the original had darkened over the years

Thanks! Didn’t know what the actual codes were.

Have no idea what the Gold Medal Special option is, other than maybe the hood ornament? Same for Sierra Classic, not sure what the difference is between it and a regular Sierra other than the fender badges. Maybe that was like a Silverado Chevy? Full loaded?

"LDD1 Blue Custom Clo" is for your Blue cloth interior. My '85 is also the 21 Lt. Met. Blue

A bit off topic, but there's Orangish and Tan color together that I liked in the past. @RetroC10Sport

I know right? Need to find this dude and get him drunk and win the truck in a arm wrestling match or cards. DAMN that's nice @Grit dog
Haha, thanks guys. You might win but our 13 year old would take you out with a hockey stick, lol. It’s going to be his first vehicle and he’s so pumped he almost slept in it the first night! Think he’s burned a half tank of gas driving it around the subdivision....
We just got it last weekend. Just going to drive it this summer. Planning on tearing into it this winter.

Totallyhucked, sweet looking truck man!
So is your truck originally 2 tone? Same 21 paint code for light blue but don’t see the second color on your spid.

Best I can tell it is. The guy I bought it from sent me a video of it before it was cut down/spotted in and cleared and it was patina’d right. It looked original
