Data plate color/model observation/question
Neither of my 59s data plate have a header for model between color and date like the 1960 does, they just run it all together without a space after the color codes. My book does not give the model codes for the 59 like it does for the 60 which has a header for model between color and date headers. Model code numbers are the same as the series part of the serial number.
FWIW both of the 59s are 2 tone so 2 color code letters. My book is the one published by Cars and Parts magazine.
Is this consistent with other members 59s and other publications? thanks

1959/60 F100/250 4WD: The series code (1st 3 digits of the VIN) for 2WD/4WD is the same, so they just decode to F100 or F250.
The MODEL code stamped on the Rating Plate defines whether it's 2WD or 4WD This 1957/63 truck parts catalog has listings for all the 1957/60 MODEL codes.

Neither of my 59s have the word MODEL and the model number is just ran together with the paint code and no space in between. This is the one from my F250 4x4, don't have the other truck home yet.

07D = Assembled April (D) 7, 1959.
This truck was also a Domestic Special Order, because it has a DSO code.
Would you like to see the parts catalog examples of the 1959 model codes?

That would be good info to add to my book since it doesn't have it. Who else published the information? Is there a factory or reprint? I've found the Cars and Parts one lacking before too.
