Thinking about going with 1972 Terrace Blue Dode 503 for my repaint

Can anyone help me out with photos?

Thanks

You don't see too many Terrace Blue trucks. One year-only and GMC-only, coupled with 43 years and just not many trucks done in it makes it a rare color. To find an original paint job that hasn't turned color a bit is a hard thing, too. It's a great one, though. I like using less seen GM colors. I've generally done trucks in original color, but on a ground-up it's a chance to be custom while staying factory. I'd consider this color for my '72 GMC but am stuck on a saddle interior.

There was a Terrace Blue in '67, was it the same color?

You know Bob, my memory isn't what it was and I didn't look it up. You know how we can have something wrong in our head so long we think it's right? I knew it was GMC-only and I guess I've only looked at auto color library for my '72 in more recent time. Either way, it's one of the colors I have seen the least over the years. Also, when I google it I see shades from blue to green but few that "might" actually be Terrace Blue. Could just be monitor differences on some, but most that came up were definitely other GM colors I know from sight. Google and see. Unless a picture says it's Terrace Blue (when you go to site), you just don't know

My truck is Terrace Blue, and when I researched it to get the right paint code I found that it was GMC only in '67. Didn't see that color listed in '68. You are right, it's rare.
