Help with Paint Colors

I am racking my brain trying to find the original paint code numbers for my husbands truck.
Ford doesnt even hold that information for a 1979, they say they have to research it and that takes about 6-8 weeks. We are needing to buy the paint by THIS WEEKEND!!!
Can someone help me please this is the info i have on our truck:
1979 Ford F-150 (xlt...i think)
351 mod 400
4 wheel drive
ON DRIVERS DOOR:
Vin # (which ford website is invalid, says supposed to be 17 digits
F14HNDK3667 (on passenger door, title....)
WB: 133 COLOR:OT TYPE/GVW-F141 BODY

D4 TRANS:K AXLE:H2
1979 24 197933
dso
Also at top of tag has this F0386 TO823

Ok, some also say the paint code is on the firewall of the motor, on passenger side, and this is the order of the numbers on the firewall:
473 F14HNDK3667 24

16 2E Y 33 4DD 29107

if you can help me with this or know the website for me to visit i will do the research, you can email me : jilledw at bellsouth.net
THANKS TO ALL, THIS IS MY FIRST POST I HOPE IT TURNS OUT SUCCESSFULL.
BYE

Your Truck is supposed to be a Two-Tone.

Candy Apple Red (T)& Silver Metallic(O).

Here's a photo of what it should look like.

The colours could also be reversed,But I doubt it.

Btw, I also have a decoder on MY web site.

Access to it is below the flag.
