hi Stewie, thank you for creating a Canadian paint colour thread, i was thinking of doing this as well as there isn't much information for Canadian models. if someone has original documents for the Canada truck paint codes please share!
i attached photos for vin tags showing paint code of some of my trucks, paint code 33: two 1950 chevy 1 tons, likely were maroon, repainted red, or was maroon build and then factory option painted red for delivery? paint code 136: 1951 3/4 ton (this truck looks black, it was never re-painted, it came from BC to SK in the late 50s - early 60s) paint code 339: 1953 chevy 1 Ton which has 0% paint remaining so i have no idea what it should look like.. rust brown paint code 339: 1953 GMC 1 Ton, dark flat blue, could have been repainted so many times, who knows?
where would be the best places on the body to confirm original exterior paint on a truck, i'll cut metal to get to fresh painted original surfaces, i'm that curious.
based on anecdotal information i found on line for Canadian models: 33 = possibly Cape Maroon 32 = something like Forester Green ?23 or maybe 37 = Airway Blue (close to Windsor Blue 664 in USA) 31 = similar to Omaha Orange 34 = sorta Cream Medium
looking forward to discussing Canadian truck paint thanks -stan
