Bobby,
I've looked at that paint site a number of times, but they don't list 1953 as an option. In fact they jump from 51 to 58, nothing in between?????? (Under Ford Trucks)

Really? I guess I never paid much attention.

That's weird they have the paint chips for Ford cars in those years, I wonder why not on the trucks. You might be able to

Here's a link to George's website, with color chips for the later trucks

I thiiiiink, but I'm not 100% sure that the paint codes for those years were common foro both cars and trucks! Although not all colors or combinations were available on the trucks. Another thing I noticed is the car paint sample page was for 5152 &53.
