I think it was repainted at least once. I would look for the original color in places that are difficult to access during a respray. Under the dash, up inside the cab corners above the gas tank, around the cab mounts.

There is some info in the library but not much for the S/A trucks.

A couple of scrapes showing a different colour underneath isn't much to go on, but if I had to guess, I'd say it was Caribbean Turquoise


**If your truck still has the in-cab fuel tank, it might be worth removing it, as it's unlikely they took it out to paint behind it. If you find the original colour, with FULL COVERAGE, being as it's never been exposed to sunlight, it will not have faded, so you should be able to get an Auto Body Supply place to SCAN this area and mix the colour for you.
