Two tone
I have an 83 f350 xl. The two tone paint is one I have never seen before; the top is dark metallic blue, and then below the chrome moulding strip it is white; this is factory. I have always seen the typical two tone with the top and bottom same color, with one in between, or the victoria two tone. Has anyone seen this or does anyone have one similar? Was this a base paint job, like one step above solid color?

That looks like someone repainted the truck at some point and didn't paint the lower half blue.
If not, your truck may have the "Explorer" package with missing tape stripes and badges. Some of these models had a paint scheme like this.

Turns out you were correct. I got my marti report and it has the Explorer package with stripe delete. 1 of 1 for color-trim combo. Pretty neat!

I paid 46 dollars for the deluxe report. They do any ford vehicle from i think 2007 and earlier. Very satisfied with it!
