2 Tone Paint

My question is there a correct method for the roof color on the back of the cab? Some have it, some are left white. My 2 trucks are different.

I believe that the correct method is to bring the roof color down to the belt line as in your turquoise example.

When I do a search of images for 65- 66 f series I see some with some without.

I think you are correct. Searching the 66 F250 images I only see that the red and white examples with a white back.

FoMoCo never painted a truck like the Rangoon Red/Wimbledon White example in post 1. The Caribbean Turquoise/Wimbledon White truck below it is painted correctly.

Kind of has me wondering why you asked the question. Are you looking around or painting one?

So you decided on preferred, rather than correct👌 I don’t blame you.

Haven't even decided on color. Leaning toward Chrome Yellow and Pure White
