Interior from the light side!

There have been a lot of darkside threads lately... So let me share something for you FTE'ers on the right (light) side of the Force!

I just got a '55 color dealer catalog. It shows the interior of the custom cab and the standard cab in living color. A note says this about the color of the seat: "Seat upolstery of Custom Cab is color-keyed- a warm red for vermillion, blue and black exteriors; harmonizing green for green and yellow exteriors. If I knew how to use our scanner and knew how to put them in the body of this thread I would do it. Maybe later.

It also shows the engines available: the 223 6 cyl, the 239, and the 256 were yellow with argent valve covers. The bigger trucks' 279 and 317 were red with argent valve covers.

May the Ford Force be with you!

Good info Abe ! Suggest you post this also in the Y-Block forum. The color thing has been beaten absolutely to death there with one member vowing and declaring the truck blocks were all red. Glad you have confirmed the colors.

Abe,
I would love to see the pics! I'm glad that you found more factory info in the dealer cat.
