I am looking at a 71' F250, its owned by an 80 yo man and he can no longer drive it. It's one of the cleanest trucks I've seen on a long time. Just can't find reference to the color, other than this pic from google.

Thanks

 

Looks like Yucatan Gold or New Lime.... but they're 70 colors...

The steering wheel is a 3-spoke rim blow. If original, that would indicate a '70 or earlier truck.

 

17" 3 spoke steering wheel using a horn button or horn ring:

1960/63 Falcon/Comet; 1961/66 F100/250 2WD; 1966 F100 4WD; 1966/73 Bronco; 1967/70 F100/350.

2 spoke steering wheel using a horn pad that contains the horn switch:

1971/77 F100/350; 1974/77 Bronco; 1975/77 Econoline (except 1975/77 F100/350 & Econoline with Speed Control).

This truck has 15" 'simulated mag' wheel covers, so it's an F100, not an F250.

 

wow, that truck looks great!!! what state did that truck spend most of it's life?
lol, i guess i should read in more detail

 

On a 2nd re-reading of the original post, I see that the picture was taken from Google as a representation for the color of the truck being looked at. So, I take it the truck in question is not actually the one shown in the photo (?).

 

Correctamundo... representative.

 

Correct!! But it's just as nice.. I may feel guilty giving him what he wants for it. I haven't seen one this clean and original in a long time. I'm thinking it's bright lime.

 

Well congrats on the good find!
