It appears to be Turf Green, see here: http://www.tcpglobal.com/aclchip.aspx?image=1959-fordtruck-pg01.jpg
I think it is a perfect color for a stock 4x4 truck of the era. I remember seeing lots of them painted this color back when they were still current.
Edit: that page appears to show it as a Dodge color?

The wheels on this truck should be painted black, not body color.
Are the digital photos the cause of the poorly aligned doors?
btw: Bell Green shown under the Dodge color chart was only used on trucks sold to the Bell Telephone Company.
The exact same color was used on Packard V12 & L head 6 or 8 cylinder engines from 1921 thru 1954.

When I say I've always wanted a '59 Ford, it was because I loved the old iron and I've been a die hard 4-wheeler...I've been wanting one since the late 1980's. Today I was going through some old 4 wheeler magazines, and found one of the trucks that made me want one even more. It gave me a color scheme that I loved. It's from June 1999.
