data tag help please

So i'm looking at a 58 F100. Its 223/6 cyl 4spd truck. I have everything decoded except the color = NE, date =30, then there is a A, trans is F which should be the T98, and axle 02 should be 3.89. Any help with the color and the A? Thanks guys!

Mark this is what my catalog shows for paint.

NE would indicate a two tone. E-- would be Corinthian white but I don't see an N

And I think the A after 30 under build date would indicate January.

Thanks Wally, it does have two tone paint but the entire truck has had a repaint, its a twenty footer at best, thats why i am curious about the paint code. Its had some poor rust patch repair in the normal places. If I get it bought I will post pics just to brag a little. Unless I pay to much, then i will leave the bragging part out. Thanks again Wally.

30A = Assembled January 30, 1958.

NE: N = Not listed for 1957/60 / E = Colonial White.

Thanks for the correction Bill! (I should read my own post)

You are welcome Mark! Hope you can pick it up for good price, and bring on the pictures.
