JM paint code

JM PAINT CODE. How would you know if only the top were white or the upper half of the truck or just the interior. My truck apparently has been repainted all white. I thought the upper part of the dash was beige. Hmm.The bed seems to have some red. I will have to wait to get the truck here before I can check.Any ideas?

This seems to be a common Red and White truck.

The colour scheme in pic #2 is how the tutone paint would be. JM is J= rangoon Red and M= Wimbledon White. The dash should be Wimbledon white exactly as you have but the top should be rangoon red. Your truck is not original or stock as you have a wood floor in a syleside box, and a 73-79 steering column. Looks like a nice ride that's for sure.

Ranger, this 66 is on a 79 f150 4x4 frame. Just what I wanted. Thanks for the tip on the paint scheme.

I have a parts truck that I am contemplating doing this too. I am interested in how much gap you have between the cab and the box? Also, was your rear axle moved forward at all?

Ranger, I don't have the truck yet. When I get it I can post pics. Someone else on this sight did this and had a perfect spacing between the cab and bed.
