New 77' Stepside, color question

[jarero]

I just picked up a 77' Stepside 2wd and my mind is going crazy with ideas of what I want to do with it. I know that it is going low (static drop) and the interior will need a lot of help but I am some what limited as to what I can do to it for now until my 66' Impala is done.

Now on to my question.....

The truck has had a repaint at some point in its life and it looks pretty decent as is with the exception of some chips and scratches here and there. I am assuming that the truck is painted a factory color since I have seen others that look just like it. I would like to buy some paint to do some touch up but need to know what to get. I have looked in the door jambs and the glove box for any info about the paint code and I don't see it. Any help is appreciated.

Some additional info about the truck:

350 with an RV cam, headers, 1406 edelbrock and performer intake
SM465 tranny
P/S P/B
Factory A/C (missing compressor)

The color look like the Russet Metalic, paint code 68

Awesome, I will give that a try. No I just hope that they didn't get too creative when they mixed up the paint and added something extra.

A decent paint shop should have a scanner they can scan a piece of your truck with that tells them what the paint is. Then they can mix you some for touch up. Chances are that paint has faded over the years and even the exact paint the truck was painted with wouldn't quite match today anyways.
