I'm in the process of a frame up restoration on my 1978 F250. If you're interested in seeing the process, I've been posting on my Jeep Club Forum; here's the link: Operation Restoration: 1978 Ford F250 Custom - Lone Star Jeep Club

Anywho, I've finally got the frame painted and getting ready to put the cab and bed back on to take into the body shop. The only problem is I have no idea what color I want this beast! I've been trying to find the paint schemes Ford used during 1978 but can't find anything online or forums. Does anybody have a link to paint schemes? Other than that, do yall have suggestions for paint colors? I like the Dark Jade Poly or Black, but was wondering if yall had any suggestions that might spark my interest!

 

For 1978 Ford had two, two-tone schemes. Regular two tone where the roof was painted a different color from the body, and Deluxe two tone where you got the racetrack trim, the area inside the racetrack was painted a different color. You could also order both, regular and deluxe. The roof and racetrack area were painted one color and the body painted a different color.
Color choice is strictly a personal matter. My personal favorite is for a single color, dark metallic blue. For two-tone, dark metallic blue w/ white accent color. Runner up is metallic red for the main color but I like the dark jade metallic too.

 

Better known as the combination two-tone.

 

Also, You can go to Google and click on images then type in 1978 Ford F100. It will bring up 1000's of pictures of Ford trucks.
