I was doing some searching to find out if my 1500 keys will level my buddies GMT800 2500 non HD and found the indexing degree by the color.

Fullsize trucks use 1.75" hex and S trucks use 1.5" hex so the keys are not interchangeable

15045171...4 degrees...Purple (stock 2500HD)
15657374...9 degrees...Blue (FK2 S10)
15603963...12 degrees...Orange (also S10)
15592573...14 degrees...Green (stock 1500)
15592574...18 degrees....White (Z85 suspension S10)
There is also a yellow key for the S trucks but I do not know the degree of index

I will update this and compare OBS 1500 keys to NBS 1500 and 2500 non HD keys all side by side and if I find anymore info about the different keys. If anyone else has anymore info feel free to add.

Could you post some photos of where the color mark is on the keys? I got a free set of supposed 1500 stock keys to level my 2500, but they're rusted over and I can't see any paint markings.

If they are from a stock 1500 they will level your HD, all of them I have seen are just a paint mark on the bottom but most of them up north end up rusted after the first couple of winters.
