Here is a truck that is the same color.
If you look at the 68 camaro that I did a page or so back, it is very close to the same color you are looking for. I used a rattle can of Tamiya transparent red and then backed it with 1 coat of silver metal flake 2 light coats of pactra racing red(until I got the desired color depth/darkness) and then finished with a coat of pactra silver. Go really light on the racing red! When you think it needs 1 more coat to get it dark enough stop and back it with silver! The silver will darken it up more... Hope this helps you!
