F35 = F350.

B = 300 1V I-6.

E = Mahwah NJ Assembly Plant.

686590 = 1965, assembled May 1965.

COLOR code stamped on the Warranty Plate, riveted to the left door face below the latch...or to the inside of the glove box door.

If the plate is missing, there's no way to get the COLOR code, but '65 trucks were only painted 12 different colors...so it's not that difficult to ID which color it was.

Look under the seat to see which color it was.

It was some form of white I think. It was a Georgia power and light truck. A Napco 4x4 conversion and pto with winch.

COLOR code: C = Pure White or M = Wimbledon White, which is an off white aka creamy white.

Faaaar more trucks were painted Wimbledon White than Pure White.

Ok thanks for your help.

And Wimbledon white it is. I think that would be a good color for a fleet vehicle
