I Have A 54 F 100 And I Want To Know If Anyone Knows If The Letters On The Tailgate Are White From The Factory?

 

abe started a thread entitled "color of FORD Letters" on 1-1-2005. There is a discussion of this topic there. I don't know if there was any consensus in the end or not. Good luck!

 

Over he years Starting back in 1963 my desire to own a 50s F-100 was always on my wish I could get one list. They were every where mostly used by logging company’s. I joined the Army in 66 attended the university of South east Asia. ETS in 1974 and ended up living in Oklahoma. Ardmore off I 35. I was attending College under the GI bill. Working at a tow company and in the reserves. Cam across an old Oil field F-100 1954. Belong to a retired pumper that did odd jobs. Painting and servicing oil rigs. Cammanche oil company bought the truck new in 54 that baby blue color,the tail gate ford was black.lettering as I remember. The Y Block was not running and Stromans motors rebuilt it for me, as I recall for 800 bucks. That 292 ran like a Rolex watch! Originally I think the mileage was at 68.000 I was an A&P mechanic and drive it Dayly to American .flyers at the Airpark. Winters were nice but summers in that 100 degree heat was a tough run. My 1955 the truck I own now is a Dark Blue with a silver tint. Almost looks black at nite a full moon reflection brings out a beautiful color. The tail gate lettering is black. A repop from China, I think. But nice quality if you know what I mean, I Ben seen them with Chrome lettering, and all colors over the years but I think from the factory the lettering was baby blue same color as the truck. But in the custom cab. I understand Ford did letter. Only a few colors were available. As I recall.
