1980's Tan interior

[85_Ranger4x4]

I got a new LMC dash cover, it is the injection molded plastic cover that you glue over the existing dash. The color is off, it seems to be a more modern lighter tan than the my classic 1980's tan. I have searched every home improvement store, farm supply store, and even had a couple car part places look it up in books, but I cannot find the tan paint to paint the dash to match the rest of the truck. Has anybody found either the paint codes for the factory color or a different available color that is close and I could have ordered?

For 1985 the tan interior color is listed as "Sand Beige", Ford trim color code "T". A Ditzler brand paint number is 25557 (low gloss) and 25558 (semi gloss). Maybe this info will help at a good body supply store.

A question for you, please. What do you think of the LMC dash cover? Does it fit and look good? I'm looking at trying one of those for my '84.

Thanks, I will have to try that. By chance is that an option for '88 too? I think my truck is kind of a hodge podge of a couple different trucks.

Right now it is stashed safely under my parents buffet in the dining room. I brought in a trim piece to compare the color, otherwise I have not had it the truck yet. It looks good though.

Yes, for 1988 the exact same information is listed.

Thanks for the reply on how it looks in the box, and I hope that it works good when you get it installed.
