Notice it is the same code 23

Notice the year range listed in the '87 Martin Senour book, for the medium blue. It came along when the Hawaiian Blue name went away. I bet it's technically the same color, but I'm also sure there were variations in the color from year to year and factory to factory, just like any other color.

The actual color numbers or codes for my colors so i could find someplace to buy the real paint for when i get the cancer fixed. Unless the spid code is the actual number...

Unfortunately I have no color chips for '78, just looked. I just have a list of the '78 truck colors in a '70-'79 Martin Senour book:

Yeah, 65 and 81. Those two colors were used in other years too, I'll dig up more for you tomorrow.

This crew cab is the same color my '85 is supposed to be. Light Metallic Blue #21, WA7470. I'm still partial to the the color combo on my first truck, dark blue/grey.

Really curious what the center color is on this truck. Is it listed in the glove box?
Thank you

This is the factory paint on my truck. If it is close to what you are trying to identify, I will go down to the garages and find the SPID. Unfortunately, those who know me also know that I am color blind:

I'd like to know what it is. It looks darker than I'm hoping, but it'd be great to positively identify it just the same.
Thanks
