What is the color code on the VIN. If there is no color code on the VIN it is my belief the color was special order. Here's the link for Fordification's VIN decoder for 1969 models http://www.fordification.com/tech/VIN69.htm

Good day Spacelong,

I'm sorry I don't have any insight in to what color that is; I just wanted to say that I also love it. I could stare that photo for fifteen minutes--it's superb.

Looks like light blue just looking at the chart.
But the vin tag would be best.
Mines the lighter Sky view blue.

The pic of the truck is not mine so there is no VIN to decode.... Ive bought some paint to spray out and sample, and so far I believe it to be Frost Turquoise. Its a 1967 stock color. I will take pics of the spray out cards once they dry.

That kinda looks like Carolina Blue. Most vehicles sold here had that as an option all the way into the 80s.
