How to Find Your 1966 GMC's Color Code

GMC placed paint codes in many different locations, making them difficult to find, and GM did not standardize the color plate location across makes and models. Codes are often found in the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise they could be elsewhere. Typical format: 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC (e.g., BC/CC 51 or BC/CC 316N). Two-tone entries may use U or L for Upper or Lower (e.g., BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N).

1966 GMC Background Info

The 1966 GMC Vibe

1966 was a hell of a year for the GMC Truck. It was the swan song for that iconic body style, and GMC wasn't going out quietly. While these rigs were built to haul hay and gravel, they didn't skimp on the aesthetics. We've got the full spread of 15 survivors in our database-from the work-ready Ivory and Gray to the flashy Saddle Metallic and Turquoise. Whether you're restoring a fleet-spec pickup in Omaha Orange or a weekend cruiser in Light Blue, this was the era where "Utility" actually had some soul.

Paint Health Check

Back in '66, they didn't wrap trucks in a thin skin of clear plastic. You're looking at the Single Stage Era. This is honest, pigment-heavy paint that actually has some "meat on the bones." But here's the rub: if that truck hasn't seen a garage since the Nixon administration, it's likely suffering from heavy oxidation. That's that chalky, dull film that turns a vibrant Light Red into a dusty salmon. Without a modern clear coat to take the hit, the sun cooks the pigment directly. If your paint feels like a chalkboard, you're looking at a finish that is literally starving for a seal.

Restoration Tip

The beauty of 1966 paint is that you can often buff the life back into it, but you have to be smart. When you're touching up chips or scratches, remember the Salty Painter's golden rule: it needs wax or it dies. Once you apply your repair and let it cure, you have to seal the deal. Without a high-quality wax or sealant, environmental acids and UV rays will march right back into the pores of that old-school finish. Modern factory paint is thin and disposable; your 1966 GMC is a survivor. Treat it like one-keep it sealed, or that Dark Aqua Metallic will go back to looking like pond water in no time.
