Chevy and GMC would have the same offerings (no difference in content between the nameplates)

But - you are right, in that I see three different blues:

Code 23 - Hawaiian Blue (said with the same inflection as Mark Knopfler in "Money for Nuthin' - 'what is that? Hawaiian noises?")

Code 25 - Mariner Blue (Metallic)

Code 26 - Deep Blue

Code 27 was not available in '79 on LD pickups according to the GM archives documentation.

Those would be your menu choices.
