The color called Chrome Yellow is very deceiving to most people.

Just like some of the browns Ford used.
Numerous names for the different browns.

Chrome Yellow And Coral

Chrome yellow IS yellow-very close, if not exactly the same as school-bus yellow. I know because I worked at a Ford body shop for 4 years and owned a chrome yellow 68 F100 at the time. I bought it from a local heating-cooling contractor whose fleet was, and still is, all chrome yellow. My 1979 F150 is Coral, and I would call it a reddish-orange.

I parted a 73 that was true orang, no arguement possible. It had white sstriping on it. Poor thing was too far gone for any salvage, and was partially stripped before I got it. I still have the box, fenders and hood...

That's medium Copper. A good friend recently had his '77 repainted the original factory color- pumkin orange. Ford called it Medium Copper, much to everyone's surprise. It's the truck everyone's gathered around with the hood up at our last FTE GTG.

It appears you haven't visited my web site and the 78 and (not all the 79 applications) decoder.
