That makes quite an undesirable color combo. So it must have been repainted. I'll reach out to the guy I purchased it from to see if it was he and how long ago. This somewhat changes my direction as far as returning it to original. That combo is something I couldn't live with. However after looking for sometime I am not finding another with those colors so perhaps I'll clean up that VIN tag and get the marti report. If it is rare maybe stay keep it the same? Rare for these trucks doesn't necessarily equate to collectabilty What are your guys' thoughts? Just a terrible combo for paint IMO. No wonder it was painted all creme

The trim (group # 423A21 Moulding back belt) on the back of the cab I believe identifies it as having a Regular Tu-Tone paint job? Very nice looking truck, if you can afford to pay it, then you did to pay to much. Hard to internet price a truck, but it looks to be well worth it. Price these truck now days on the web, CRAZY prices. Also AFAIK if a truck came with the "race trac" chrome, it did NOT come with the fender lip chrome.

I was wondering if maybe the original second color is the same brown that the lower part of your dash still has.

So after cleaning up the VIN it appears as though the paint code is a UH. Creme with Dark brown metallic. Confirmed this by pulling away the rubber around the back window and it had just a small area of brown paint.
Interesting note about the wheel well trim not available if it came with the racetrack. Those paint option photo's were a huge help. Thanks for attaching those.
Question did all F150's have the dual shocks up front? Also were the radiators all the same regardless of the engine size?
Thanks

Dual shocks were an option somewhat rare. Radiators size depends on engine size and towing pkgs. I had a 79 Bronco and a 79 F350 Camper Special painted the dark brown & sand it looked good.
