I am going with the factory two tone white and blue and I need a paint number to give to my paint guy. I think that this is a factory color that came on the truck my truck has been painted in the past and it shows in spots this color blue but I want it back to original paint colors anybody know what this color name is that is on this long bed truck and a number? I am going to go back with this color scheme on the GMC stepside. Hope the picture with the color that I need is not to small to see good? Thanks for any information. Robert

Looks to me like the 507 Light Blue or 537 two tone code for '69.
It is a PPG #12846 that any paint shop should be able to supply.

It looks like '69 Light Blue (507) to me,too. That's the solid (all one color) code. GM used a different paint code for the same color when used for 2-tone,but it's the same color. I can't tell from that picture what year the truck is. So,just to be sure it's not the monitor (or my eyes) playing tricks,I'll show another possibility. 71/72 had Medium Blue (501).

The chips aren't always the best way to tell,either. So,here's a Light blue truck then a Medium Blue:

Hey Robert, saw this one on Craig's, not sure if it's stock or not but it sure is pretty.

Thanks guys for the pictures and paint codes the picture I posted of the longbed could not even be a factory color I think that I like the 71 med. blue from the picture thanks for posting it, on a two tone blue and white how would the inside cab be painted? I would think just as the outside with the same blue and white separation line? thanks Robert

Well here is another picture of the 501 color two toned in '70, in '71 it became a van only color. Almost all the two tone trucks have the cab interior painted the base color ('67-68 trucks went with a different color inside to match the trim). The white in this case would not be inside the cab if I understand your question correctly. Now the 501(PPG 2163) color shown is a light metalic. The '69 507(in my first post) is not, nor is the very popular '71 510(PPG 2188) Medium or Hawaiian Blue in the lower two pictures if that makes a difference.
