Who knows on this one. No SPID, and we haven't found any paint around the edges to tell us.

Re: What is the original color of your 1972 K5?

My Blazer was originally "Firebolt orange" which I call Hugger orange. I'm not a fan of any shade of orange. The Blazer was missing enough of it's original equiptment that I felt comfortable in doing a color change during build.
