I can't find this code anywhere on the net for a 1957.
Thanks, | | | | | Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 279 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 279 | I researched several books I have and I did find a reference to the number 769 for a '57, but it was listed as a job number and not a paint code. If you can find a color chart for '57, you will be able to get the paint code from it. According to one of my books, there were 7 2-tone color combinations and 14 single colors available for trucks in '57. This isn't much help, but good luck in your search. Some one on this site probably has a paint chart for '57.

The truck has been repainted Red. I was wondering if this is the original color for the truck. Thanks, | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | yes 769 for 57 is cardinal red for sure
