I have my Pop's B-61 Mack that was painted Chevy 505 to match his 71 C-10. Looking for either a paint code or suggestions on where I can find paint. Thank you in advance for any info!

Id love to post some photos, but can't figure out how to get them to show up on this forum.

I'm gonna bet your local PPG paint shop has a code to make the 505 green. They may have to call PPG to get it, and they may only be able to mix it in base coat/clear coat, DBC. But I bet they have the formula.

505 is still used today as a fleet program color. Always has been. I ordered a '92 in that color. It should be an easy color to identify at a local paint supplier. Is Warrenton your closest place to look?

Hey there, neighbor.
I would try E&M or C.A.R.S. in Charlottesville. Either of those can help you out and are close to ya.
