Sort of, but more like not as common, IMO. And more like almost impossible to find green colored replacement items.

2x with Rich.

And "rare" or "uncommon" does not equate to "desirable".

Where would be the best places to start looking for green interior stuff? Starting with a new seat cover, just like all the old ones, the drivers side is down to the springs.

For those rare/uncommon colors, your best bet is to work with SMS Auto Fabrics (Largest Selection of Cloth, Vinyl & Leather Automobile Upholstery - SMS Auto Fabrics) and order swatches.

.. yes, a local upholsterer will be your friend in stitching up a repro cover.

For hard green trim (door panels/dash cover, etc.), post a WTB in the FTE Marketplace and/or start hunting the salvage yards.

Pad them up real good and ship with USPS in a box, I do it all the time. Across the border to Canada might take a while to get there. I have a set of green sun visors.

My first build was a fresh painted green 76, the guy who painted it and sold it to me kept asking me if I liked that green it was a stock Ford color, I was nice about it and said No. He asked again, is it growing on you? I said very politely again No. Needless to say, my restoration is not green. In fact the only green that went into or on my truck was cash and lots of it.

I also have some green door panels from a 77 I am in the process of restoring but I'm not sure you would want them. They are a little worn and faded from the years and they are Green.

Of course I am only joking, if you like and/or desire that period Ford Green then go for it. I have not seen many Green or green combo resto's and for that matter not many Brown & Tan's either.

There's 3 different greens too...

Jade Green (the green that appeals to most people)
70's green (as I call it)
puke green (as I call it)
Red
Burgundy
Tan
Beige
Brown
Black
Blue
Other Blue
LMC sells grey but I've never seen it, unless grey wasn't available in Canada?

Great! I have two-tone Green on my truck (78 F150 Ranger Lariat). The Dark Jade Green Metallic, and either the 70's or the puke green (not sure which), think it's light Jade green (no metallic), green vinyl and cloth seat, green carpet, green dash and dash pad, and green with white, chrome, and wood grain inlays in the door panels.


So what we're saying is I'm pretty much doomed if I want to restore with original colors inside and out if I A) do not want to spend a fortune, B) want to attempt to do the paint myself, C) do not want to spend a fortune???
