Well that solves the mystery. Are you going to go with the blue and white two tone? If anyone with photoshop could do a two tone with the Bright medium blue body with a Dark Poly Blue on the roof and inside the race track trim or does anyone have one out there they could post a pic. Haven't seen one with that color combo. 73-79 two tones are my favorite. Love the back story on your truck and I don't think you could go wrong doing either two tones. Cool truck,..enjoy.

Maybe somebody that knows something about paint could help me out. I recently purchased a 74 f250 and am wanting to eventually paint it the original colors. The previous owner said it was red with a white top, and that the kid that owned it before him painted it the flat black that it is now. There is definitely evidence that it was in fact white/red two-tone, but I'm not sure which design it was. If there is somebody that knows a thing or two about these paint combinations, please contact me. PM's are always welcomed.
P.S. I am at work right now, but I will get the code off of the door pillar tonight.

This may seem like a silly question, but why do some trucks have the roof painted different?
My truck the roof is painted the dark brown of the main color, and not the "sandstone" color of the insert. Then there are trucks like Steve's where the roof is painted in the insert color instead of the main color.

The tops where painted the same color as the inside of the race track in the "Combination Two Tone" I think it was offered with the Ranger XLT and Lariat packages only. The standard Two Tone had the roof the same color as the outside of the track.

Yeah I did not see the lower trim at first. I still don't think I've seen factory two tone with the pinstriping inside the racetrack trim or what looks like a smaller two tone panel. Just curious because I am wondering if ford offered it that way from the factory, or did the dealer or owner paint it that way. Pretty cool that the truck was in a movie.
Was looking through my Ford brochures tonight and spied this:
I remembered seeing this thread, so I took a pic. Looks like it was optional. That's a highboy, so '76 or early '77.
