It would be LC. Holly Green and Pure White. The white generally came second. The predominate white in 1965 for the secondary color was Wimbledon White code M, but some used Pure White code C.

That's interesting TA. I thought the white used on two-tones was always M, Wimbledon white.

There's one I've heard of with a paint code of BC - Caribbean Turquoise and Pure White. So, I believe it is possible, but most do seem to be Wimbledon White.

Don's '65 F250 C/S paint codes are Pure White & Wimbledon White, either CM or MC .. I don't recall which.

Sorry, ND, I didn't get that. Are you describing a truck that is two-tone pure white and Wimbledon white? I'd sure like to see that - or a photo - that might be the rarest combination (?).

I don't have any pictures and have not heard from Don in several months or more now, but here's the info in the "rare options" thread. He says it is a CM code.

To see it in person will require you to drive to Olympia WA, cuz that's where the truck that is tu-toned Pure & Wimbledon White is located, owned by FTE member camperspecial65 (Don).
