I am wondering if anyone has a picture of their truck using one of the aforementioned codes or another recommended code for a high gloss black? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,987 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,987 | Ask the body shop/ painter that you are going to use. Personally I have used Ditzler/PPG since the 70's and I'm used to the brand. I would get a paint code from your painter and stay with that code, type of paint, and brand.

From what I see, they had one black for each year up to 1976.
