Howdy, Im looking to paint my truck the original what appears to be a baby blue two toned white.
I would like to know what the colors are called so the truck will appear original.

Thanks for your time
Chet

 

Look on the Warranty Plate for the COLOR code, post what it is.

One code, one color / Two codes, truck was tu-toned.

1965/66: C = Pure White (quite rare) / M = Wimbledon White (very common).

There are several different codes, colors for light blue.

 

Howdy ND, it is " F M " so the blue would be "F"........Thank you , where do you find your info?

Chet

 

FM: F = Light Blue / M = Wimbledon White

I memorized all this jazz decades ago, have the 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog & The Standard Catalog of Light Duty Ford Trucks (krause.com -ISBN: 0-87349-411-3) just in case I need either.

Plus, I bought a 1965 F100 8' Styleside brand new 3/1965, owned the pile until 11/2009. This was the first of 8 Ford trucks I bought new. #8 is the oversized tub in my sig pic.

I'm a nut, automotive historian and a crabby 'ol grouch. It won't take you too long to figure this out!

 

Outstanding on both counts!
o.k. , I found a good paint and body guy in New Mexico, that's pretty close to me in Az. lots of work ahead, but I'm up for it!

I have ordered an authorized official Ford service manual last week, looking forward to sticking my head in it! paid $68 not bad, compared to most found online. Knowledge is Power!

Have a great weekend and thanks again!
Chet

 

The 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog is available on a CD from hipoparts.com for 22 bucks.

Where do you live in SE Arid-Zon-A? I have family in Douglas and Sierra Vista near Fort Hootchi-Cootchi.

I also have 5 Basset Hounds, feed 'em raw meat. If you become aware I'm in the area, better lock you chickens up, cuz that's the raw meat they eat.

 

Yeah, Im kinda funny on things I cant rest on a fender and look up. Sure you can print stuff up, but I like hands on now, when im out in the heat, instead of walking back into the house to see whats next, and if your out my way, lock dem doggies up! I have quality show chickens that I raise! booooKOOOO bucks invested! a very expensive doggie treat!

we live right on the New Mexico boarder about 30 miles north of Hwy 10

 

That's not too far from Shakespeare, the privately owned NM ghost town and Lordsburg, the town made famous in John Ford's film Stagecoach.

'Course, Stagecoach wasn't filmed anywhere near Lordsburg. T'was filmed in Monument Valley and Moab UT, Beale's Cut...north of LA LA Land and RKO Studios in Hollyweird.

Film made "The Duke" (John Wayne, born: Marion Michael Morrison) a star after years of toiling in B-Western oaters, and was the first film shot in Monument Valley.

 

Yep Shakespear is just about 10 miles south of Lordsburg on a dirt road and only opens once a month, I think every 3rd Saturday, something like that. Never been to Monument Valley but its on my bucket list!
When i saw "StageCoach " I knew they werent even close to Lordsburg, thats funny!
