Hope this color chart helps....scroll down on the page.

Color Chip Selection


Edit: Nope! I'm totally wrong...there is a color code "2" Sand Metallic, as listed here: 1973-1979 Ford Truck VIN Tag Codes (Exterior Paint) - FORDification.net

Thanks David. I saw that too. Now just need to find the actual code so someone can mix it!

BIG DEAL! I'll change it someday, but since I adjusted it during assembly that way it does not rattle and is not a priority.
It just irritates me that I took my truck from this.....


TO THIS....


And someone searches the picture until they can find something negative.
Besides, the topic was ''post your two tones'' not ''get your truck nit picked apart''
Compliments are nice, but shouldn't be followed with critisizm unless asked for.
It's just rude to point out something like that on someones truck that they poured a lot of work into. If you can't realize that, then it's your problem.


O.P.- Sorry for helping Rogue hijack your thread, back to color combos now!
Well I think your truck is awesome. Love the color.

Just picked up a 1977 body that is an orange and white two tone. Color code calls for Medium Copper and Coral. Never saw this color combo.

I guess this qualifies as 2 tone. it's blue with white top. Came from factory with these colors but not original paint.

It will remain two tone but I'm going to go with a Darker Green as well as the shade it has now. That light green has got to go!

I have a '79 Lariate that is code Y7. It is not that color now, just old primer. I don't think I have seen a truck this combo. Do any of you fine folks have a picture of a truck in this combo?
