1956 tu tone question

Was asked a question about the paint lines on a '56 tu tone with big back window. Never seen one before. Does anyone have a photo of the correct factory paint scheme?

If I had the money and the space, I’d buy them all - very beautiful trucks!

I especially like the last one.

If my truck wasn't a family heirloom I would have gone two tone.

I really like the two tone. I don't think I've ever seen one in person.

Hmm, no. The 55 F 350 I bought from a guy I never met before in Erie County. I never thought of that. For some reason I think of only F100's the two tone option..... Probably not true however.
