Paint code
Does anyone happen to know what paint code "2"would be for a Canadian built truck? I see for USA it was medium copper but this truck is orange and has been its whole life. I'm just trying to track down the right name/code to get paint mixed.
Thanks

To add to your confusion, what year? Paint codes quite often changed from year to year.
If it's for the '74 in your signature paint code "2" Canadian useage is "pastel lime"
In '73 it was maroon, 75-76 was medium ginger metallic, 77-78 was medium copper metallic and for 79 was sand metallic
This information is from the Ford truck parts catalog.

Production date printed on upper corner of Safety Standard Certification Label that is glued to the B pillar below the striker plate. Assembled 9/76 should be a 1977.
2 = Tangerine ~ 1976 Canadian, paint basic part number 5459.

Thanks. So will that paint basic part number still mean something after all these years at the body shop?

If the paint was obsoleted, one year later, it may have been omitted from new loose leaf catalog pages.
