The paint code should be down at the bottom of the RPO code list. Something like 93U 83L (U==upper, L==lower if two tone).

Unless it is black, you might want to have it blended to match the paint on your truck... Paint codes are a great place to start, but due to the age of the vehicle and the color, you may not get a good match.

swartlkk makes a very good point about blending. THere could be about 4 or so different reds but you need the correct code.

You can TRY www.paintscratch.com and see if its listed there for ya.Im not sure about the paint being good, but they have pretty good and decently accurate listing for codes for the years. You can probably find your code there
