I have Chevy's Master Parts Catalog from April 1, 1950 and the only blue
they mention for 1950 is Windsor Blue. I don't know if you can match Duco
numbers to PPG's, but if you can, here are the listings with Duco and Dulux
numbers for 1950 Windsor Blue models:
Single Color:
Comb. No. 428
Body Windsor Blue(Duco 28655498)
Striping French White(Duco 28953561)
Wheel Windsor Blue(Dulux 564)
Two-Tone:
Comb. No. 435
Lower Body Windsor Blue(Duco 28655498)
Upper Body Grecian Grey(Duco 2537869)
Striping French White(Duco 28953561)
Wheels Windsor Blue(Dulux 564)
Hope this helps.

Subject: [oletrucks] Paint codes
Hello fellow ole truckers,
Its been a while for me to post a question but my 50 3600 has left for the
final restoration project. My question is about paint codes. My truck was
originally dark blue. It must have been ordered that way since stock was
green. What is the PPG code for this dark blue?? There was Mariner Blue
and, I believe another blue that was darker. My dark blue resembles the top
bar on computer windows. The blue stripe across where the closing box is.
Any help would be appreciated.......tom
