65 trim color help.
Okay, non custom cab, steel grill and front bumper. (we) were having a discussion today about what color is correct for 65-66
I think it's Wimbledon white, a couple other guys thought it was Pure white
which is correct for this year, did they offer more than 1 color if your steel grill and front bumper was painted?
Thanks

1961/66 grilles and bumpers were usually painted Colonial White, which is a bright white.
However, if the truck was painted a non standard color (like Coca-Cola Red), the grille and bumper may also be painted this color.

My 1965 F100 Standard Cab (I bought it new March 1965) was Wimbledon White, its painted grille and bumper were bright (Colonial) white.

I guess unless I find a way to teleport back in time and look at the paint being applied to my truck and verify on the paint container that it's Wimbledon White, then I can't be 100% sure.

Trim color
All I've seen and read is that colonial white was Fords trim color in 65-66 even if your body color was Wimbledon . I think colonial is an awesome trim color even if it is incorrect. Just my opinion. Thanks Bill
