My truck is interesting because it is a Canadian truck, its a 1950 F-47. (In otherwords a Canadian F-1)

Serial-BD83H50-332211

Bed-Flat Panel (Original)

Three Speed on the floor

No number directly stamped into the firewall.

I am 15 and I am new to the site and I have had this truck for exactly a year now and when I was 11 I also bought a 1948 and 1949 Mercury M-105. I am pretty sure I know the majority of the deal with this truck I have recently been looking for some paint to do some touch ups and I am having trouble finding the proper information to get the same color as the original. If anybody could decode all this for me, especially the paint it would be greatly appreciated.

Engine-OEE-2624 Model-BD83 Trim-16

Paint-41(I believe it is called Strata Blue) Body-JDC50-1654-25047

I also noticed that the engine in this truck has been rebuilt by Ford in Edmonton and I'm not sure if they may have altered the plate on the firewall or not.Thanks again.
