Re: help me find paint color !
I fooled around on Google a little bit. I found a site with car paint codes that listed paint code 40 as lime green. Might be that?

Re: help me find paint color !
I had a 75 Chevy C10 that was Willow-way Green? or something like that, it was a lighter green that was hideous when I got the thing, but after a couple of years it kinda grew on you. The entire truck was that color, inside and out.....I wish I still had that truck!

Try navigating through this site. I has color chips going back to the 20's from all the manufacturers.

Re: help me find paint color !
Any automotive paint shop will have books with paint chips providing that it is original paint.Some of these cheap paint chains would mix odds and ends of paint and they dont match anything.Take the book out to the truck in the sunlight. RW
