I am restoring a 58 GMC Fleet 100. The original color does not match any color chips for that year. No vin number that I can find for color. The paint shop can computer match the color. Is there any info I can obtain to match the original color? Is there a list of company colors that were sprayed on this truck from GMC?

back then any customer, business or govt branch could order any color they wanted to suit their specific individual scheme - if the truck color isn't close to any listed standard factory commercial color for the year, choose what you like

one
two
and prolly others - some folks here have chip sheets too .... you're not really looking for "commercial" colors, the trucks had a few different colors from cars, and different combinations, but mostly the same for any given year

Tom,

As you most likely know, the GMC Fleet Option trucks were a specific option available from GMC. They came with different exterior body parts and interior colors/parts than non-Fleet-Option GMCs. Here is some information about 1955-1959 GMC Fleet Option Trucks.

You might want to join OldGMCtrucks.com discussion board. Some people over there might have GMC Truck Data Books with information that might answer your question(s).
