The Ford color is Caribbean Turquoise. Without going out to the trailer I believe it was B.

To be honest, I really wished your '64 looked liked this in the Vintage Truck magazine, but glad to see it the mag anyway. It definitely inspired others in the hobby to look at different subjects.

Are you talking about the lack of headers and 16's instead of 15's? Because other than that it is the way it was in VT.

Just preferred the look of 16" truck tires instead of the 15" whitewalls. Side note, the norm for Ford pickup ads back in the day was to show the top of the line Custom Cab with 15" whitewalls tires for more mass appeal to the general public.
