Paint color for 1950 flathead v8? 7.50-20 tires?

Hi everyone. I need to paint my engine. What color should it be for a 1950 v8? Can I just go to an autoparts store and get it? Also, is there a place one can purchase REASONABLE priced 7.50-20 tires for my F5? I need 6 since mine's a dually. Thanks!

Check on the top of the bellhousing as to the original color. There are a lot of opinions as to what the truck color should be. I have a '50-F2 that was originally painted red, however it really doesn't go with my dark green truck. You choose... Good luck with your project.

If you are in the Northwest, check with Les Schwab about the tires. I asked about them for my '50 F-6 and was quoted around $140 each for new. They also have recaps available.

I went with red. Looks good with my blue truck. I have some pics in my gallery, if you care to look. It's also on the home page.
