Color combo

So,it appears that my truck base coat is Copper Metallic "Z code", but whats the two tone color? Wimbledon White or did they possibly do it in a light silver or is this a cream-colored yellow that's just very faded. Online, I really haven't seen anything as far as copper and white two tone.

Only shows a "Z", so is only the "Copper Poly" that is original. Any "Wimbledon White" was added later I'd say.

The white is not factory. If it was it would most likely be Wimbledon White.


Factory two tones came with molding separating the two colors.


My copper metallic truck came with tan interior and I didn't like it at all.


I redid my interior in black and I think it looks a lot better than the original tan.

So what your saying is it was most likely all Copper Metallic, and someone added the two tone?

Yep, it appears to have been a single color when it was new.
Copper Metallic with the orange Explorer tape stripes would have looked great.

So look at these cab corners, it makes me feel that it may have been a two tone paint job tho, I think this is more of a farm truck to an extent used here in Denver Colorado where I got it but I don't see or feel that somebody would go to the effort to get it painted two tone and then put the original Ford looks like pinstriping at the bottom makes sense

One downside for these old trucks, they do love to rust.
I don't have the ability to repair cab corners and quarter panels.
If my truck would have had rust in the usual places I wouldn't have bought it.
Mechanical I'm fair, body paint no way.

I'm glad my truck is copper metallic, I like the color.

Oh for sure the cab corners are going to get redone this summer I'm either going to do them after I get a welder or I'm just going to pay a guy 300 bucks to do it but they're going to be taken care of but you see that trim where it's painted around back of the cab as well as the pinstriping makes me think that was done by the factory

Not factory, if the back of the cab is done, they moved the bed.
