Christmas card pic

Hey guys and gals,
just posted the pic we used for our 2005 Christmas card. We have been using my truck as the background for a picture of our son for our Christmas card since 1997.

Merry Christmas to all!

Great pics and cool idea to include your truck, after all, it's been a part of your family a long time.

Merry Christmas!

Kent,
Thanks for posting those pics! One of the mirrors on the truck I believe I bought from you a couple of years ago. Thanks again.

Abe,
Your truck looks great and if that's the mirror that I sold you, it has undergone a major transformation! Very nicely done!

Kent,
I am not sure if your mirror is on the driver side or passenger side. I sanded and painted yours and replaced the glass. I think I also used your mirror arm, again not sure which side it is on now. Now if only I could find stock style hubcaps, painted argent with the letters red!! I could paint my shiny stainless ones but I am afraid the paint wouldn't lay right and I'd mess them up!

thanks again, abe

I am close to spraying a color coat on my 1951 F1 (color change from white to??). Any idea what that green is called? That is shade is kinda what I'm trying to visualize for my '51. Anyone have a green F1 they can post a photo of? Thanks.

Old Merc,
My truck is Meadow Green, which is an original color from '54. I know it was a color from earlier years, probably was for 1951.

I put together what I hope is a complete list of all the stock and trim colors for the 1948-1960 trucks along with current PPG paint codes. It's at this link http://www.clubfte.com/users/earl/Re...aterial_2.html.
