GM paint code 507 light blue

Dad had a 69 GMC when I was a kid and it was my first vehicle. It was light blue and I've always wanted to do truck in that color for nostalgia's sake. I believe it was 507 light blue and would be greatful if somebody that has a truck in this color with the code on the spid could post a picture for me so I can verify that I'm thinking of the right color.

My 68 used to be this color and probably will go back to it.

Here's more pics I picked up from here.

Re: GM paint code 507 light blue

There are suttle differences to the color but I attribute this to either the mixing process or scanner/cameras. Not sure.

This is the color of mine on the inside. I rattle canned mine a slightly darker color on the outside but will probably go back to the stock baby blue color when I have it painted professionally.

Re: GM paint code 507 light blue

I am using two brackets made out of aluminum and bent to the proper angle so the cup holder is level. The brackets use the same holes that the heater control asm uses under the dash. I used slightly longer bolts for more bite.

Re: GM paint code 507 light blue

^ might be the reason there's different shades of it.

The color definitely is different. My daughter gave me her 94 Ranger that is the Lapis Blue color. Similar to the 507 color. I've only seen 2 of these rangers besides mine in this area and it's easy to find in the parking lot.

(color looks a little off due to cell phone pic and lack of natural light where photo was taken)
