F-68 restore
I was finally able to get back to Alberta to pick up my F68. This truck was bought brand new by my grandfather, spent its whole working life on the farm until it was parked in about 1977. It has 61000 miles on it, my plan is to restore it to "original" condition. The data tag identifies the trim as M18005, appears to be utility brown or saddle color, easy enough, but the paint code is M180013.
The research I've been able to find shows 3 different Green shades used by Ford in 48, can anyone identify this code with a name for me. It kind of looks like it was an olive green, but would like to get it right. Thanks for the help.

I list only one green colour available in 1948, Sea Mist Green. I don't know where you will find this paint colour as the Canadian trucks used different paint colours than the American ones.
