Hi. I recently purchased a 1950 Merc pickup with original drivetrain. I am trying to find the engine paint color or a source to obtain the cream or tan color for the engine.
The serial plate reads:
Engine code OOE 445
Model MD 83
Paint 38
Trim 16
Serial MD83H5012582
The body tag reads:
Dag 50-117
6384
The original color under the dash is a light green, the interior appears to have always been saddle brown.
Any engine paint info would be appreciated.
Jim
Hi and congrats Jim on the 1950 Merc pickup, nice to see it has the original Flattie!
For the engine paint color/source/engine paint info drop into the 1948 - 1960 F1, F100 And Larger F-Series Trucks forum.
