Is the darker green on your truck metallic or is it 505? Sometimes its hard to tell from the pictures with green.

He may not have caught the thread title or be familiar with the paint codes but 70cst's truck looks to be 506/dark olive poly & 504/medium olive poly. Mel

1970 is the only year in this era that 505 dark green was not an option.
Here are all the RPOs in 67-72 that included 505 as the primary color:

505 was available in all years as a fleet color

Thanks Tim - yes, one could order just about any color GM produced in a given model year via the Special Paint order process, but a Special Paint code would appear on the SPID, not RPO 505 in 1970. I assumed the OP was asking specifically about the paint code 505.

Paint chips for 1970 shows 505

I have found the paint supplier chip books to not always be completely accurate, so I try to ref the data books or sales brochures for paint codes - have never seen 505 dk green in the 70 truck data book, only 512 dk green metallic. (but I do see it as a commercial color and as a factory RPO for burbs). But who knows!
