Paint Code
My paint code for my 73 F 250 is "RX" I cannot seem to find what that means. Anyone have a idea what this paint code means as far as color and how to find it? The Truck is currently Mustard Yellow on the upper half and Brown on the lower half

R = Medium Ginger Metallic - US/Canada.
X = Light Goldenrod - Canada only. There is no X color code for 1973/75 US trucks.

There's no COLOR code of X listed for 1973/75 except for 1973 trucks sold new in Canada.
What is the 5th digit of the VIN and the DSO code stamped on the 3rd line-far right of the Warranty Plate?

RX: R = Medium Ginger Metallic / X =
// F250 = F250 2WD Pickup, 6,200 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating // 334: 33 = Light Ginger & Medium Ginger Vinyl / 4 = Styleside Pickup.F = Borg-Warner T-18 4 Speed Manual Transmission // 38 = Dana 60 Rear Axle / 3.73-1 / 5,300 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.
Edit: 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog (final printing May 1975) Exterior Paint Section says for 1972: X = Light Goldenrod Yellow.
