paint
The truck is in the body shop, and they are getting ready to paint. Their plan is to try to match the existing (origional) paint using some sort of computer annalysis. That will probably work fine, but i would rather tell them the actual origional colors. Does anyone know the stock red and white colors that came in 1966 on my f-250 camper special?? the truck is red, with the only white being on the cab (above the doors, and down the back of the cab to the bed height). I'd like to make this as easy as possible for the paint guys.
Thanks

You are aware that there were two different colors of red, and two different colors of white for 66 right? Poppy red, and rangoon red. Vibrant White, and Pure white were the two colors of white available.
Poppy red = Color code S
Rangoon Red = Color code J
Pure White = Color code C
Whimbledon White = Color Code M
Got those codes from here [link:www.octm.com/dane/index45.htm|Color Charts]

That's really your call! As for my 65, I'm eventually going to be painting it in a darker Blue metallic, with White pearl stripes (see also: Shelby like!!)
Plus installing all of teh original alumium trim I have amassed for my shortbed, along with having it all polished to a mirror shine. Then I'll finish my engine out, by installing my edelbrock performer cam kit that I picked up for $45 at the swap meet, never installed!

I agree, it's your truck, so make the changes that you'll enjoy. However, if yours is a restoration, the value of the finished product may be significantly higher if the colour is original and matches the code on the data plate.
