Re: 68 gmc paint codes
Welcome
First check the spid (service parts identification decal) label inside the glovebox Then do a search of the site with the numeric code on the label Search function is near the top of the homepage

Re: 68 gmc paint codes
We could help you if you gave us something to go on. Got a picture or could you tell us what color it is? Is there a SPID (option sticker inside glovebox door)? What code #? Look under dash where it should still be original.

Re: 68 gmc paint codes
Frustrating, huh? Not sure what to tell you. Hopefully someone can help. Those '67 chips are to go on for '68 in most colors. Thy look off a shade. Palamino Tan is more like a pinkish tan.

Re: 68 gmc paint codes
So I've found that the vermilion 515 paint code seems to be pretty rare on trucks but its the only one that looks like my truck and I know the color on the hood and bed is original could this be the 515 vermilion color

Re: 68 gmc paint codes
I take it you have been trying to show pictures with no success. Vermillion is a 67/68 Chevy Truck color you GMC may have been special ordered in.

Re: 68 gmc paint codes
The 515 Vermillon Poly is a cool color on these trucks. I've seen it mostly on the 67s but was offered in 68. As for the GMC's SPID, i have two 68 all original GMCs that never had a SPID. Very frustrating, but if the firewall is original paint look for codes there. I've found that kind of info on both of mine.
Since you are having trouble uploading pics and i love early year GMCs, feel free to PM me your number and you can text them to me.
