That's almost the exact color my '68 Mustang was --Sea Foam Green. My Mustang's paint code was "O". It looked like an off white on a sunny day and an off yellow on a cloudy day.

No truck had a VIN plate until 1980. VIN plate located on the left corner of the dash, visible thru the windshield.
The Warranty Plate TRANS code is the letter: G = MX Cruise-O-Matic.

OP's F250 is a Camper Special, Camper Special package offered two transmissions: Warner T-18 4 speed (TRANS code F) & Cruise-O-Matic (TRANS code G).

TRANS code C = Ford type 3.03 3 speed manual was not available for Camper Specials.

That's what the seller told me but it does seem to be an auto, which I'm fine with.

Thanks I'll try that. I would like to officially know the name and where it came from.

Was it a common practice to do a special order paint possibly from another line of cars back then?

LadderDogV10 how many pedals does it have.? i can kinda see swapping out a manual to auto. but not really going the other way. unless you were going to a 4-speed. but who knows. everybody likes diff. stuff. with a 50 year old truck who knows what kind of life it had.

I don't have the truck in my possession yet to confirm trans. Just going off what seller is telling me. But code says auto and I don't have a good pic that shows the pedals. He said it was a # matching drivetrain so guess I'll find out lol

My brother had a 1969 Bronco with that exact color, if my computer monitor is true to hue. It had never been repainted.

I received my Marti report today! Was hoping to shed some light on the paint code, but no luck. I'll have to try another route.
