55' paint codes

Anyone have colour chips for 55? There are three different blues. Although, mine was two shades of green and primer when I bought it.

Thanks

Here is a 55 color chart that covers cars & trucks. For some reason truck Meadow Green & Black are missing , but, all the other truck colors are there. If you can't make out the names or Codes let me know and I will post them.

Thanks Fking1,
Text is a bit fuzzy. Mine is code "C" , which I think reads "Aquatone Blue"

You can go to www.autocolorlibrary.com and see the PPG color chips for your truck, similar to what Fred posted. Select "FORD" and not "FORD TRUCK" in the menu and it will show up. Under "FORD TRUCKS" they skip 53 through 57 for some reason. The color of my '56 is a car color anyway and doesn't show up on the truck lists.
Good Luck!

C is Aquatone Blue and the Rinshed Mason number is 469 for laquer or E469 for enamel. I used the RM code to have paint mixed for my Sea Sprite Green paint.

Banner Blue is my color. Much less expensive than the red I bought for my ch**y.
