Hello,
unfortunatly the RPO codesticker isn‘t in the car. I‘d looked at the 1978 truck brochure, ande perhaps it could be mariner blue or perhaps hawaiian blue.
But without ever seen a truck in one of these colors i can not say.
Can you see it which one it is?
I have to repair the body at some places and must buy some spray cans in USA

I would take to a local body shop and see if they can make the determination. The inside of the doors will be the most accurate since they never see the sun or elements.

Hi,
normally a good idea, but i‘m 3.800 miles airline distance away from NY and this is one of the nearest points to USA ;)
Okay, perhaps a car painter in germany can make a near by color for me.

Chris
PS. It also can be Lite Blue

Oh, sorry. Didn't realize you were across the pond. So, I have bought touch-up paint and spray paint for the color of my truck after minor body work from this company. They seem to do a great job of matching. Maybe they can help you. Worth a try! Here is link to their site. I was having an issue with the clear coat and they were very good to work with. Good luck. https://www.automotivetouchup.com/ Maybe they can ship you some color samples.
I have attached a picture of the color charts for the 1978 trucks. That year there was a light blue and a medium blue. RPO codes are listed under the color chips. Hope this helps.

Hi,
thank you for the link and the pictures!
I‘ll write them and also try to compare your fotographed color list direct at the truck. Perhaps it helps.
