what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

My label in the glove box is torn right where the paint code is so I'm trying to figure it out..it seems like the interior and exterior of my truck came two different colors.the first picture is under my dash and the second is under my front fender by the A pillar

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

Second picture looks like I think it's 503? Seafoam green. Cool color if the truck has the right look. Pictures of the spid and actual truck?

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

The interior paint colors/codes for 67 did not match the exterior color like later years. The paint code will give you the exterior color and two-tone scheme if applicable. The interior color is keyed to the trim color.
From the limited pictures it does look like a 503 or 533 truck with a green interior.

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

Here is a chart that may help.

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

This is a pic of the spid the paint code starts as 450 it appears and it says 4611AA green vinyl trim

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

the first digit doesn't apply, so probably 503 light green...

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

68bowtie do you have any interior shots for those colors?and do you know how I could get the paint?

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

I'm 503 as well. Here's the contrast from interior to exterior color. Always wondered why this was this way.

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

Wow ~

Sea Foam Green is *so* pretty ! .

Get on that and show us photos of how it comes out .

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

EVERY car/truck I've owned was black. Always! But I fall in love with this color more everyday. Classic and just plain "fits" these trucks.

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

Like I said earlier 503 green is the exterior color.

503 Light Green exterior / Ditzler code 43523

Primary Interior / Ditzler code 43687 Medium Green Poly (metallic)

Upper Dash / Ditzler code 43693 Dark Green Poly (metallic flat)

Glove Box / Ditzler code 8568 Argent Sliver.

Bumpers, roof (if two-tone) and grill work / Ditzler 8319 Ivory (Off-White)


IMHO the 507 Light Blue just isn't probable the colors are very different.

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

Of note is the fact your truck had the optional "standard rear bumper", painted in this case, that so so many people add to their trucks.

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

Thanks!

Those shots came from this cute little 505 Dark Green K10.

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

That's great info. Do you have the color codes for the blue interior? My 67's exterior is 507 blue with a darker blue interior. Thanks, Nate

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

Actually that is showing the difference between the exterior and the upper dash color. In this case Flat Dark Green as an anti-glare measure between the dash pad and the windshield.

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

And there ya have it! Nice

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

507 Light Blue exterior / Ditzler code 12846

Primary Interior / Ditzler code 13391 Medium Blue Poly (metallic)

Upper Dash / Ditzler code 13398 Dark Blue Poly (metallic flat)

Glove Box / Ditzler code 8568 Argent Sliver.

Bumpers, roof (if two-tone) and grill work / Ditzler 8319 Ivory (Off-White)

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

Ss Tim is the bumper being painted a rare option?and should I be able to go into any good auto paint supply shop and give them the code and get the colors?

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

X2 thanks SS Tim

More for the general interest.

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

To clarify.
The trucks, as base build, do not include a rear bumper at all.
But there were a number of dealer and aftermarket accessory bumpers available. Step and Channel styles being seen the most often.

Optional standard rear bumpers were offered as an RPO to match the front bumper, either painted or chromed.

Front bumpers were painted as base build.

Chromed front bumpers were included only with the RPO Z84 CST trim option. But they were optional on all other pickups.

Seems like the first thing most people do is toss a painted bumper and add a shiney new chromed bumper, as often as not a standard rear as well.

Paints are a problem. Ditzler is now part of PPG and the old formulas are hard to match if they can even be found. In helping others even places like TCP Global often can't match a color to ship as they lack the reference standards. So seek a good local automotive paint supplier (or restoration shop) and look for an old guy that hates computers! :-) Be prepared to offer a sample for matching (these can often be found in wrecking yards). Try reaching out to local members for a place that "works".

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

There is sections of the cab I can remove cause of rust that still have paint on them..so I can probably bring in a piece for matching

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

The exterior colors are generally not a problem its the interior colors that are. So many people just assume they are the same as the exterior and they are not. The really fine flake seems to be an issue to in getting an exact match from what I have been told.

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

1slowm6- Higgs Auto Paint and Supply in Holly Hill (Daytona area) mixed paint code 518 medium green for my 72. It matched exactly to my high hump trans cover that had never seen the light of day. They also have the old grouchy guy that hates computers. Worked for me.

Ditzler 43687
I know this is an old post, but does anyone have a source for the interior metallic green listed as Ditzler 43687? I've googled it and cross referenced but it doesn't show up anywhere but in this forum. Thanks, Kerry

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

Ya know.. this is why I love this forum... You can learn SO much, even from old threads. I've kinda wondered why my '67's interior looked different from the exterior. Now I know!! Problem is.. I'm not sure about what color is in the interior. Hoping I can get some help by resurrecting this old thread. It appears my exterior is 503, but I'm getting my steering wheel and new steering column painted, and of course, I want it to match. I'm putting my SPID plate in here as well. It appears the interior green trim is 4611AA? Not seeing a green paint 611.. Any input would be appreciated.

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

I have a '67 LWB fleet in 503 light green, with metallic green (turquoise) interior. You can definitely see the difference in my LH door which was replaced with a '69 door with 503 light green on the outside and inside.

I had a hunch that '65-66 510 turquoise poly (metallic) would very close, and had a pint mixed for my kickpanel repair. It is really really close to the "metallic green".

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

The interior appears to have a darker green metallic on the the doors, and other parts of the interior. If that's the original color, I just need to get it matched, so I can get my column and steering wheel painted.
That 611 code turns up exactly nada as far as I've found.

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

Here's a couple of other files for reference. Ditzler 43687 mentioned on the previous post may be what you are looking for based on the interior color info. Too bad there aren't color samples of the interior colors in the books.

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

What's weird... it appears your interior is lighter than mine.. Check out the driver's side door panel. I also found the Ditzler page that mentions the interior, but I'm not clear as to what my interior trim is supposed to be... Says something about 02 and 12 models, and Conv. except 02 and 12 models. The ONLY thing I can think is maybe Dark Green Poly?

Re: what color is this? 1967 shortbed stepside
 

I agree that you probably want to get it matched. After replacing my rockers and cab corners, I cleaned my cowl and had the paint matched instead of using the Ditzler/PPG 503 code. The paint shop mixed up some Nason enamel paint that matched my weathered light green exterior fairly well. The ashtray may be too small for them to sample, so you may need to pull an inner door panel. Here's a pic after my brother sprayed the 510 turquoise poly on the kickpanel and inner cab corner. The original poly color is on the '67 door panel on my '69 door and on the transmission tunnel. Close enough for a farm truck, which is what we say often on this project.

Edit: My glovebox SPID also shows "4611AA - Green Vinyl Trim".
