I’m not sure. But, I don’t think particular models received the white cab tops. I just think some trucks had unique factory paint jobs. I can remember seeing quite a few F 100’s for example. Had unique paint stripes or a unique decal down the side of the trucks for example. I have seen that with a lot of manufacturered vehicles over a long period of time. They make a few models that are intended to look unique from other models. Most of them end up looking awful. Weird color decals with a unique decal design. I had an 82 100 like that. Truck was grey with a goofy looking factory decal down the sides that was red. I didn’t buy it new. But, It definitely was manufactured that way.
I believe any of the paint two tone you could get on any package if you ordered it.
If you were looking for a base model why have two paint as you wanted it cheap.
My 81 F100 flare side custom may or may not of had a white roof as I could not tell after the 3 full paint jobs and the flat black that was on it when I bought it.
I did repaint it back in factory colors just did not do the roof white.
Yesterday I was at a 84 or 85 F150 style side lareit (sp?) that had a white roof & sides and was baby blue all factory paint.
For the model it has a 300 six and a NP435 trans, PS & PB, I dont think it had power windows as I did not look that close.
As for "factory" stripes or anything else for that matter dealers did a lot of "their own thing" to dress up cars & trucks to sell.
Decal stripes, moldings, radios, grille guards & bumpers were just some of it.
So that red stripe on a gray truck if you never seen any others was either owner or dealer added.
Oh also dont forget out fitters that Ford or dealers sent the trucks to for decals, flares, different seats, etc.
So as old as our trucks are it is hard to know what was added and where. We can find how it left the factory but I think will only tell the paint colors not where they where put.

Yep, you could also mix up many different trims into one package.
My '82 flareside has all the original paint on it and is a two tone that matches the paint code on the door tag. Truck also have two different pin stripe packages mixed together.
My truck has the Type 6 pinstriping in medium and light blue separating the Midnight blue and the Silver two tone. On the cab roof I have the Type 1 pinstriping in the same color to separate the silver of the cab roof from the blue of the main body of the cab.
Was there a reason for the white top cabs? Was it part of the XLT or XL trim package, or just something people paid extra for?
I imagine that if you lived in the sunbelt regions that having a white top and a light colored interior could make for a more comfortable interior on hot sunny days.

I’m planning a tan interior. White top is a good idea too for the heat. I’m thinking the standard red/white mainly because my 1971 was red and white and the truck I’m building started as solid red.
That’s the first time I think I’ve seen that paint scheme. It’s different enough that I can see why most people didn’t plus up for it. Like the matte black accent phase everyone went through 10 years ago.
The roof having the accent color was part of either the "regular" two tone or the "combination" two tone. Regular two tone ONLY had the roof painted in the accent color, the whole rest of the truck was body color. Combination two tone (which my truck has) was just that, it combined the Regular two tone and Deluxe two tone. It's detailed in the sales brochure, but I don't believe they were tied to any particular trim level, although the various Explorer packages threw two-tone paint options around onto any particular trim level. My XLT Lariat has Explorer package C as well.

Showed those to my wife. Thankfully she doesn’t like Victoria.
Did they de the combination on supercabs as well? I’m assuming they did, just making sure. I don’t recall seeing one.

Yep. This is my truck. Original paint everywhere but the hood. Not exactly common, but then again, my truck had literally every option in the book thrown at it when it was ordered.
