It looks quite tan on the color chart. I agree green and tan seems weird, but not out of the question. Wimbledon White was very popular on the two-tone paintjobs, but that would be code "M".
On edit - it doesn't look like "QW" was available, but "QM" was. You sure you read the code right? Maybe they had the "M" die in upside down when they stamped your doorplate.

I think this has all been covered here, but here's what I used as a reference to find out about my '69 F-110's stuff-

edit- Also, you can use this form to request a build sheet for your truck directly from Ford. I did and they sent me a letter telling me quite a bit about my rig. It takes a while (about 5 weeks), but I thought it was cool.

You can't post your email addy unless you get creative, like d-o-n-b-at-aol or whatever - you get the point.
I would consider starting a new thread and/or posting in the classifieds if you're looking for parts. Much better chance that way. Good luck!

My '70 still has a 302 and the way it sounds I'd say it's original. I wonder if the automatic is a c-4 or c-6? My first car was a 65 stang and I was always having tranny trouble (c-4) . Does anyone have an opinion on c4 verses the c6 tranny? I go real easy on my truck after my experience with my mustang, which was mostly due to my age (16) at the time...many years ago.

don - for your trim try either LMC Truck or National Parts Depot. I just received the NPD catalog and it looks like they have what you need.
achtung - I'd bet on a C6. I don't think they ever offered a C4.

I have seen a lot of C6's in station wagons and pick ups behind a 302. At some time in the mid to late 60's maybe early 70's they used a C5 in wagons which was a beefed up C4. Not sure if they were used in trucks. I think I remember the pan looks the same on a C5, but the filter inside is different than a C4.

I'd be surprised if the 302 truck came with a C4 - I'm pretty sure the only automatic offered in trucks at the time was a C6.
The C5 came out in the mid to late 70s on the Mustang II. It was basically the same as a C4 but with a different valve body and a primitive (by today's computer controlled standards) lockup torque converter. The valve body is thought to be inferior to the C4. In fact, a popular C5 mod is installing a C4 valve body.
