Anyone know what the color codes are for Light Blue body and
white top and face ?

The light blue is 507. Here is a thread about it:

As stated in other thread but here it is again:

GM light blue: solid colored trucks #507; Two-toned #537
- DuPont (Acrylic Lacquer) 4537-L
- Rinshed-Mason (Acrylic Lacquer) A-1686
- Ditzler (Enanel) DQE-12846

GM White #521
- Dupont 817-L
- Rinshed-Mason A-1347
- Ditzler DQE-8080

Those are three paint suppliers that GM used at that time. So if you decided you want to use the Dupont brand, tell the paint jobber that you want 4537-L for the light blue and 817-L for the white. They need those numbers to mix your paint correctly.

Good luck!

This is just what I wanted to see. They just look good no matter what color the rest of the truck is. I'm 83% convinced-better see a few more just to make sure!

BuildinA68 · 09-30-2011, 09:11 PM

Love the look of the last Blue Truck!! Hope my K10 Looks that good, should be close to same colors, if not exact!! Thanks For Sharing!!

Here's my old 68. I removed the signals too.

Looks nice without the turn signals.
Did you set them back in the grill ? or gone
completely.

**clay68c10** · 10-01-2011, 12:54 PM

Gone completely, I had an extra grille and used the black top insert so there wasn't any mounting dimples.
Used the AutoLoc headlights with built in signals, they worked ok. There's some LED ones out there that I'd try if I were to do it again.

darkhorse970 · 03-10-2012, 10:07 PM

Can anyone tell me what would have been the deciding factor for a white top being either the entire top or just above the drip rail?

Heres mine and it was painted 507 blue all the way up to the drip rails from factory and the nose painted the same with white trim. and the interior 506 blue. Was it more common for a white nose or same color,

How about CocaCola red and white?

89AKurt · 03-21-2019, 02:20 AM

I'm noticing some have the inside of the slots also painted white, some are black such as mine. I also noticed the headlight trim on some have dips for the adjuster screws, mine does not and wondered if the trim has to be removed to adjust the headlights (yea there must be a specific topic somewhere).

**cliff67** · 03-21-2019, 07:33 AM

White face for me too

1967 was roof only, above the drip rail, and 1968 covered the entire roof including the A pillars...Please, no applause, I’m no genius, I learned that here on this site...

Abomb · 03-21-2019, 09:35 PM

It kind of loses the “pop” when the truck is also white...
