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:
