what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside

[1slowM6]

My label in the glove box is torn right where the paint code is so I'm trying to figure it out..it seems like the interior and exterior of my truck came two different colors.the first picture is under my dash and the second is under my front fender by the A pillar

[68shortwide]

Second picture looks like I think it's 503? Seafoam green. Cool color if the truck has the right look. Pictures of the spid and actual truck?

The interior paint colors/codes for 67 did not match the exterior color like later years. The paint code will give you the exterior color and two-tone scheme if applicable. The interior color is keyed to the trim color.
From the limited pictures it does look like a 503 or 533 truck with a green interior.

Here is a chart that may help.

[1slowM6]

This is a pic of the spid the paint code starts as 450 it appears and it says 4611AA green vinyl trim

[68bowtie]

the first digit doesn't apply, so probably 503 light green...

[1slowM6]

Thanks 68bow tie now I need to know how to get the paint for my interior and exterior

[68bowtie]

or it could be 507 light blue with light green interior...

[1slowM6]

68bowtie do you have any interior shots for those colors?and do you know how I could get the paint?

I'm 503 as well. Here's the contrast from interior to exterior color. Always wondered why this was this way.

EVERY car/truck I've owned was black. Always! But I fall in love with this color more everyday. Classic and just plain "fits" these trucks.

Like I said earlier 503 green is the exterior color.

503 Light Green exterior / Ditzler code 43523

Primary Interior / Ditzler code 43687 Medium Green Poly (metallic)

Upper Dash / Ditzler code 43693 Dark Green Poly (metallic flat)

Glove Box / Ditzler code 8568 Argent Sliver.

Bumpers, roof (if two-tone) and grill work / Ditzler 8319 Ivory (Off-White)


IMHO the 507 Light Blue just isn't probable the colors are very different.

Of note is the fact your truck had the optional "standard rear bumper", painted in this case, that so so many people add to their trucks.

That's great info. Do you have the color codes for the blue interior? My 67's exterior is 507 blue with a darker blue interior. Thanks, Nate

Actually that is showing the difference between the exterior and the upper dash color. In this case Flat Dark Green as an anti-glare measure between the dash pad and the windshield.

To clarify.
The trucks, as base build, do not include a rear bumper at all.
But there were a number of dealer and aftermarket accessory bumpers available. Step and Channel styles being seen the most often.

Optional standard rear bumpers were offered as an RPO to match the front bumper, either painted or chromed.

Front bumpers were painted as base build.

Chromed front bumpers were included only with the RPO Z84 CST trim option. But they were optional on all other pickups.

Seems like the first thing most people do is toss a painted bumper and add a shiney new chromed bumper, as often as not a standard rear as well.

Paints are a problem. Ditzler is now part of PPG and the old formulas are hard to match if they can even be found. In helping others even places like TCP Global often can't match a color to ship as they lack the reference standards. So seek a good local automotive paint supplier (or restoration shop) and look for an old guy that hates computers! :-) Be prepared to offer a sample for matching (these can often be found in wrecking yards). Try reaching out to local members for a place that "works".

There is sections of the cab I can remove cause of rust that still have paint on them..so I can probably bring in a piece for matching
