193298 = Fisher Body body number
27L/27U = Lower/Upper paint code-- Dark blue metallic

Thank you good sir. I knew you'd be the man for the job. So, the car was one color originally, unlike the current 2 tone?
According to the body tag it was one color. Now, if there was a package that added a secondary color after the fact, like some did, it MAY or MAY NOT end up on the body tag. The older Conquista package comes to mind, for instance.
Example- 1984 H/O body tag has 17L and 17U for body color. We all know the bottom was painted black. Sometimes all the documentation wasn't super-detailed.

Silver top and silver bottom with the dark metallic blue in the middle. The whole interior/jams are blue and the outside appears to have been repainted, but maybe not. It has the H/O factory engine from what I can tell with the 601 heads.
I want to decide on a color for repaint and kinda feel like going back to factory would be a good move.
I'm no expert on El Caminos, but it APPEARS you have a NON-D91/Z15 optioned vehicle. (Z15 it wouldn't be for sure as they were only two tone.) That is to say the 27 upper and lower on the body tag says there wasn't any 27M. You should theoretically have 17L and 17U silver according to the chart below with a 27M for the dark blue center and hood. You apparently have the third chart setup without the silver upper and lower. Do you have a "Conquista" emblem on the dash or a SPID sticker you can verify for sure or not you have or don't have D91?
No special emblems, and this is all I've got for stickers

Yeah, they say in the literature that the two tone w/D91 has chrome separation where the colors meet or something. Or decal with the SS.
I can't remember but I thought Elkys had it on the back wall behind the seat. Maybe around the spare tire pocket?
