Talking OEM Paint Color ?

I am restoring a 1974 ford f100 with a fleetside box and I don't know what the original colour of paint was that they used in the factory to spray the underside of the box. The box has been changed. I think it was grey they used but I want someone who knows for sure.

Wasn't it just clear lacquer


BTW, Fleetside is a GM term

Styleside is the Ford.

I think it's all primed and then whatever else hits it during color and clear applications...

My 75 has a custom colour rather than a stock offering from the factory. The whole bed and cab is the body colour. There is a heavy coating of black undercoating and what looks like some kind of sound deadener beneath it. Beneath all that is the original colour, all over.
