Best color for a truck
#31

Having the grill the original color and black bumper just does it for me.
The light silvers and grey. Etc two tones do look nice as well.

No picture yet. Merely my opinion. I like original colors just to me more of a purist. But if you are changing from an original color, I also like darker colors on these trucks. The body shapes of these trucks benefits darker colors. The curves of the fenders, hood, etc. creat lot of light changes and reflections with darker colors. If you are considering anything other than a solid color, the curves also create a lot of color changes ("flopp") as they say in the paint industry. Of course, with darker colors that means the body work must be better as well.

Is there a difference between woodsmoke gray and Silvertone gray?
Also, is there a difference between banner blue and Sheridan blue? And what years did Ford use which blue?

Woodsmoke Gray is unmistakably gray. Not really very pleasing, but it's original. Again this is a file picture.
Best I can tell Sheridan Blue was 1948 to 1954, and I find a Banner Blue paint chart for 1955. Looks similar to Sheridan Blue, maybe more metallic. Don't know how many years it was used. Stu
1954 Sheridan Blue
1955 Banner Blue
