Let us talk about Two Tone.
Morning board.
I have been considering two toning my truck, Bahama Blue would be the main color with Wimbledon White top and lowers.
When the factory did this, how would the back of the cab and the front of the bed done? IE: was the two tone continued around the entire cab and front of the bed, or was it ended right around the corners like most of the newer stuff?
What about the door jambs and pillars?
What about the interior panels? In this instance, would the entire interior still have been blue?
TIA

Hello duckryder
I do beleive they went with the darker of the two colors whatever they may have been on both. on the cab the white would go around the curve of the cab until the two different panels meetand the bed is the same. keep checking for other responses because someone might know something a little different or a better way.but that seems to be the logical way to do it at least to me. hope this helps.

My two tone is Pebble Beige on top and hood, inside bed and cab with the Wimbledon White only along the bottom of the front fenders, the doors, the bed and then tailgate. There is no white on the top half of the truck.

Take a look at my gallery. Keep in mind that is the original paint.
I never paid any attention to the door jambs, but I think they are all white.

Cool that does help,
MyPa, mine would be the reverse of yours, so blue everwhere yours is white, and white where yours is gold (or would that be copper?)
if you look between your cab and bed, does the gold (or copper) extend all the way across, or end?
All, it is my understanding that the two tone could be ordered top only, bottom only, or both?

Don't forget that dealers applied some two tones back then too. It wasn't at all uncommon for them to paint the top a white or as in the case of my 72 the lighter blue of the bottom.

There were 2 classes of two-tone... an upgrade from the one color, which simply involved painting the cab top Wimbledon White, and then the Deluxe Two-Tone which came on the Ranger and Custom Cab... see my gallery. The two-tone stops on my bed, the front of it (facing the cab is Lunar Green. The two-tone goes all the way around my cab.
I knew I had seen a brochure describing the paint options, here 'tis:

My '67 was originally white over blue, although I don't know the exact shades. I'm going by what's under the current paint which is peeling badly.
I can tell you that the entire cab is blue though, right down to the door jambs.
Personally, when I finish up the bodywork, I plan to go back to the original two tone paint, for that stock look. Granted, it's not stock under the hood but that's half the fun of it.

Last summer I dismantled a 67 and a 68, both Rangoon/
Wimbledon deluxe two tones. Both had original paint. On both, the white on the bottom wrapped about 8 inches around the cab and a few inches on the front of the box. On the doors and door jambs, below the chrome, the white paint extended about an inch inside. On the roof, the white paint above the chrome wrapped around the pillars all the way to the weather strip.
What I've seen on all factory two tones is that the primary color on the upper fenders and hood is also the interior color and the box interior color. The regular and deluxe two tone were available on all F100/250 series. Looking closely at my two trucks, it also seems the secondary color (white) was applied first, then masked off for the red.

Very interesting,
That helps me out, I want to try to do it similar to a factory job although my truck is far from and exact restoration, I want it to appear like something Ford Built if that makes sense.
Rather keep the "They sure don't make em like that any more" feel!

In my humble opinion that is an excellent plan... I've spent the last 2 years undoing what had been done to this truck. A re-paint is planned, I think you're going to be shocked when you hear the cost. Keep me posted?
Thanks!

A buddy of mine has a '69 Ford F-100, and he just got it painted the original 2 tone. It is Red and White, the Red is where the White is on GolferSA's truck and the White is where the Green is on Golfer SA's truck. It had lots of dents and some moderate rust, cost $2,100 to get it sanded down to the bare metal, primered, painted and a new front chrome bumper at the local body shop. If that helps any on the guesstimation of prices.
