dunno where you see 90% of the trucks that color??? my bro-in-law had an 01' 2500 that color & there are maybe 5 around that I can think of close to home, but I have never seen a dually that color anywhere, & was told when I tried to order an 02' that color that it wasn't offered in the 3500's??? there are all kinds of the bright silver & the driftwood colored 3500's around, but not the graphite metallic grey like that one, & the emblems are gone from the tailgate too, so it's probably been painted, which would make me wonder about the guy's statement about owning it since i was new?????????

It is highly possible that it is original paint, it is not to hard to remove emblems/stickers with out repainting the truck. Use a hair dryer,putty knife,and some adhesive remover and your good to go and then you buff it out and you will never know it was there.

That is a nice looking truck though,.

Never seen a Dodge dually of any year painted that color. I love it, though. That is by far and away my favorite color.

I tried to order my 05 in it, but of course, I couldn't

it was offered, just not in the 3500's, for that matter the 3rd gen's weren't offered in that color in a dually, 3500 SRW, just not a dually, I'm pretty sure that truck has had a paint job, a darn good one from the looks of it, but new paint non the less, makes you wonder if it has been destroyed at some point or not??????? guess someone could have just had alot of money & wanted that color bad enough to spend a load of it??? anyway, I still don't think it was a factory option?

If you took the VIN # supplied to a dealer and asked them to run a build list, it would show the color code that it came from the factory with.

I had a sales guy at a supposed 5-star Dodge dealership write that down when I told him what I was looking for just a few days ago. I distinctly pronounced it without the G. Then they tried to tell me the "normal" sales price on an '03 was $30k when they had it on their website for $24.5k. Not going back to that place.
