Well a tree limb came down on the hood of my 04 F250 I would like to see if I can find a hood from the same color truck. My question is what years will be an exact swap ois it 99-07 or 08? The paint is Dark Toreador Red dcode LM what years did they use the same exact color. Thanks for any he;p.

 

2003-2007 should be the same, but 2008 is definitely different. I don't know what years the colors were used, but that should be easy to find. I know my color (Dark Stone Metallic - T7) was not offered every year, and that when I had my fender flares painted, it made a difference which plant my truck was built in as the T7 code was slightly different depending on the plant.


Edit: Found this in a Google search - http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcod...cgi?color=Dark Toreador Red&con=1&page=1&rows=50


Looks like 1999 - 2000, and 2004-2008 for that color on the F250.

Your hood should be pretty straightforward. When I crashed my truck, I got panels from a couple of junkyards, only way you can tell is the pinstripe on the front fender is offset about an inch too high.
