I would be curious to know for sure what the 239 color is but I am going red as I just can't fathom looking at a yellow engine after all the work I'm doing to make it "purdy"!
Curious? Did you see the copy of the color catalog I posted above? 1955 Ford truck engines were yellow with argent valve covers. Is it possible your truck got a Ford car engine? They were red.

Datona yellow I bought at Orielly's. It is alittle darker yellow than the pic, but I am using what is available to me. There is a pic of my engine in my album. Good luck!
