Canadian Paint Code for 1966 C10 Pickup
 

Anyone know how to find out what paint code 5208 is for a Canadian built 1966 C10 pickup? (I think that it should be two tone Saddle and Off White, but would like to know for sure that it matches the code if possible.)

....Here is an image showing the code....PAINT 5208. Does anyone know where to reference paint codes for trucks made in Canada?

As far as I know there is not a database or decoder for Canadian paint codes. While American paint codes are 3 digit the Canadian ones are all 4 digit. One example is my 62, it is clearly "503 light green" (original paint on firewall) but the code is 5202

Thanks 62stepside. Pretty sure it is original saddle / off white in my case. Are you going to disassemble your 62 and rebuild?

Yes I am, currently the engine and front suspension and body panels are all removed and I am swapping in a crossmember from a 78 to get disk brakes. I see you're from west Kelowna, I live in the lower mission of Kelowna, if you need any parts I do have some laying around, let me know

Thanks! Of course there are always parts needed :) (or at least improve on over the existing parts). I could use a fleetside tailgate, chrome rear bumper, instrument panel (the version with the gauges).

Let me know if I can help with your project.

Have you tried the GM Heritage center in Oshawa?

I'm sure they can help.....
