Hey guys, I have a large problem! I have a 1953 F100, with the 215 "Cost Clipper Six" engine, and it's exterior color is sea foam green. I'm 15, and am trying to get this thing into show truck condition. I want to restore it to it's exact original colors, and company markings. Anyhow, my question is: what color is my block, and was the engine bay, flat black, or gloss black? I have tried to get as many clues as possible, and all I've found, was a confusing mess of colors!!! :-( The block is a dark green, the heads, are a reddish orange, and all of the access panels on the block, are black!

Anyhelp, or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

PS, I'm trying to order a restoration manual, but I can't wait to paint the parts, they're already preped, and need painting now.
