Its PPG 16640, it is a fleet color, meaning it wasn't used on a production car, but rather designed for somone to use on their trucks or something like that. I printed off a bunch of pictures from the internet of blues that I liked, then went in to the paint store to match them up to something they had. I know the color of the printed ones aren't exact, but neither are the color books they have. But it was close enough for me.
I should add, the reason I went with a fleet color is that they are moslty solid colors, where as the standard auto colors are mostly metalics. The problem with that being that painting the truck in pieces, at different times as I did, would have made it almost imposible to come out with it not looking like a patchwork quilt. Especially for me.
