Just a quick update. I ordered a spray can of "Terrace Blue" code 509 from Napa.

Turns out it matches almost perfectly with the current paint. A touch darker than the original paint job underneath and inside the cab, but so close that I think the original paint just faded.

The can said 1962-1968 for the paint code. So maybe the reason for the "Special Paint" on the SPID? I will be painting the regular bed with this color and leaving the rest of the paint alone other than a few touch-ups.

I will post pictures tomorrow.
