I agree, FL has some forestry trucks that color and also have a dark forest green on the fresh water & game trucks.
to me that looks like the mint green or the forestry truck color.
I got a look at a few color sheets. but was focused on the 78 only centron green.
my 85 stepside is the dark forest green(?) that is a 2 yr only color.
it is all the color of $$$$ no matter what the color chart says.

My first '72 power wagon was that color, with a white roof. I didn't order it, or even buy it new, it was a repo with a blown engine. Only a year old. Wasn't all that fond of the color, though there some slightly different, more "minty green" GM colors that aren't too bad. 
It takes gasoline to interest me.

Been tossing around the idea of going back to the green my truck originally was. It's just an idea. Most likely I'll stick with the Chrysler red that's on it, but if I can find out what green it is, I may consider painting it original color 
Cleaning up my engine bay before the new motor goes in, so its now or never for paint color lol. I'm just glad the spray paint is coming off rather easily.
My truck appears to have been the same color. Here's a link from when I was asking about it last year. The you tube link in the respones shows what the full truck looks like that color.  linky linky

Doggone it, they changed colors. The later Medium Green isn't quite as soft a color as my Turf Green.
But the picture looks very very much like my '64 Turf Green truck.
After more checking, the DT7567 Turf Green was used later years as simply Green and was a fleet color, probably mostly used on Forest Service trucks. Ditzler code 42770. That is my best guess as to what's on the OP's truck.

Jeremiah, do you have any more pictures of that truck? I've never seen one in decent condition in that color.
