Re: 1970 cst dark blue exterior
The code 592 special two-tone looks really good on these trucks.
It consists of code 508 Dark Blue Poly (Ditzler 2169) body color and 521 White (Ditzler 2185) roof and below the rockers. It included the cab paint divider trim, however it also required the BX2 lower bodyside molding, but that was part of the CST trim. Member Davepl has a very nice 70 Sierra Grande he is restoring with that paint code. Here are an original period and a just before restoration pictures. You keep asking for SPID label information, what exactly are you wanting for information?

What I mean by spid label is the glove box label with the paint rpo numbers for this color combination.

Re: 1970 cst dark blue exterior
Doing a color change?
592 is the "Special Two-Tone" color code for a 508/521/508 truck. It is the darkest blue offered in that combination in 1970. The code itself is consistant, but the descriptions change somewhat between assembly plants and years. Common variations are WHITE & DK BLUE & WHITE or WHITE/DK BLUE/WHITE

Re: 1970 cst dark blue exterior
Here is a clip from the GMC above. It shows the correct format for an early 1970 (probably late 69) built "Z" Fremont CA truck. Both "S" St. Louis and "B" Baltimore are different as examples.
More importantly, Welcome to the Board!

Here is Davepl's build thread with post paint pictures. It shows the dark blue poly to good effect.
