Your truck was special ordered by the original purchaser. Whoever that was, had the truck painted a color other than stock (Coca Cola Red?). This is the reason there is no color code listed.
Due to server problems,
I wasn't able to access FTE till now.Additional Information: Shop manual = faxonautolit.com / 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog on CD = hipoparts.com / Historical: Standard Catalog of Light Duty Ford Trucks; krause.com ~ ISBN: 0-87349-411-3

Thanks at all !!! Great help for me to identify my new car and learn more about it. First i will take a lot of pictures, then i want to start with the technicals like changing the brakes in front from drums to discs. Changing all fluids, the shock absorbers and all the rubbers from the suspension.
I think it will take a whole winter to make him driveable for our german streets.
To be continued...
