Re: 66 C10 White paint Code (Roof Color)
My understanding is that it had a few names it was known by (Ermine white, Cameo White, Arctic white etc.)

Re: 66 C10 White paint Code (Roof Color)
From another thread:
526 Ivory-Off White (64-66) or also known as Cameo White ( 60-63) is correct for two tone application. 521 White (64-66) or Pure White (55-63) is for an all white truck not available with Two Tone.. Link to thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=703402

Of course you realize this means you will have to start a "paint thread" so we can follow along and see the finished product

Re: 66 C10 White paint Code (Roof Color)
If you're not restoring a truck to factory colors, then the sea of whites is at your disposal. I'd submit that while the factory 526 ivory is correct for your original question - if you're doing a non-stock primary body color, you might want to make sure the ivory "looks ok" with it before you start squirting. I think what I'm trying to say is that some non-stock custom primary colors might look better with the brighter white (i.e. code 521 or an off the shelf white). Ivory doesn't exactly go well with everything. If you're using a factory primary color, then disregard this post and definitely use 526 ivory
