Classic charcoal gray

Guys I am looking for a classic charcoal gray paint code or at least a model and year it came on.

I am doing a color change on my truck and I'm going with a charcoal gray but can't seem to find the right shade. All the newer colors have too much silver metallic, I'm looking for one that has more black metallic to it. Some thing like the picture below. Any help is appreciated.

My advice would be to go to a local automotive paint store and ask to see their paint chip catalogs. You will find a gray color that you like. I have done this several times when looking for a particular shade of red or blue.
