No Color Code on Data Plate
My 1963 F-250 color code on the name plate is blank. The Truck has been repainted a brighter blue than was available, however inside the cab it appears to be more of a steel blue. Any ideas on what color is a blank on the plate?
Thanks for the help.

No COLOR code: Truck painted a non standard color per original purchasers order, making it a Domestic Special Order.
1963: DSO code stamped on the Warranty Plate will either have 4 or 6 numbers.

F25 = F250 2WD / C = 292 2V / R = San Jose CA Assembly Plant / 350884 = 1963, assembled November 1962.
DSO 710289:
71 = Los Angeles (SoCal) Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.
0289 = Domestic Special Order number, truck special ordered by original purchaser, not "bought off the lot."
No COLOR code stamped on Warranty Plate: Domestic Special Order.
If paint formula required, Ford Dealer contacts FoMoCo with 6 digit DSO, they look up the order number, pass the paint formula back to the dealer.
Same DSO procedure used today.
