65 two tone paint without chrome??? how??
I'm repainting my 65 CC two tone wimbeldon white and rangoon red....the truck is a custom cab but doesn't have the aluminum molding pieces....if I decided to not but the molding on (because the only stuff I can find is 650.00 for all 10 pieces), where should the paint break be on the two tone...I know it's not exactly on the crease on the doors on the models that have the molding pieces. Or, if I do get the molding, does anyone make the stuff with the red insert in the middle as was customary on the trucks when they came new in 65???
thanks guys...and info and pics would help before I get going with the paint!

65, Da Dummy will know from sure, but I believe 64 was the last year that the red stripe was available.
Carolina Classics makes all new molding, but it is not cheep.
There are other options like adding a third paint color with air brush, tapes, other molding, etc.
You'll figure something out.

Red painted mouldings were 1963/64 only.
For pics of tutone trucks, look thru the members gallery's or thru all the recent threads from the 2008 SuperNational truck show in Knoxville TN.

Thanks guys....so those Carolina Classics moldings are good quality....and witht that red stripe? It looks like the 64's with the delux paint and not nolding used the crease in the sheet metal as a breaking point between the two colors...

The trucks I've seen were usually tutoned with white, so in your case, Rangoon Red would appear on the roof (including the drip rails), and along the sides below the scallop line.
The hood would have been painted all white, the tailgate would have been all red.
Factory photos (not sales brochures) are the best source, and to see them you need this:
The Standard Catalog of Light Duty Ford Trucks / krause.com / ISBN: 0-87349-411-3.

I took pics of the F100 SuperNationals Truck show in Knoxville TN last week, then sent them to SteveBricks, our FTE SoCal chapter leader who posted them here on FTE.
One of the pics shows a minty 1966 F100 4WD Shortbed Styleside tutoned in blue & white.
Look here: SoCal/Hawaii Chapter / Thread: Pics from the 2008 F100 Supernationals / First photo is this minty 4WD Pickup.

Here's a question for everybody on the two toning....if the truck was not originally two toned (mine was wimbeldon white only), is it better to simply repaint it the stock color, rather than do something that wouldn't have come from the factory? I know it's personal preference, but does a "wrong" paint scheme lessen the value of the truck? I'm curious about that roof only contrasting color and will look to find those pics you mentioned here.

I just bumped the pics from the F100 Supernationals.
Notice that the 1967/72's have a reverse paint scheme from the 1964/66's.
I don't think tutoning will decrease the value if the truck wasn't tutoned originally.
In fact, IMO, it should increase the value. Especially if the truck was originally all white, which...again IMO, I never cared for.
While white is a good color to hide wavy sheetmetal, it's boring...boring...boring!
FTE member camperspecial65 has a rarity, his truck is tutone white.
That's right, there were two shades of white offered: Pure White & Wimbledon White.
His truck is the ONLY one I've ever seen painted that way, and it's factory original.

Just checked those pics ND...nice ones...but I don't see a truck with just the roof painted to contrast color....where would the color break be for the top...just the top and rain gutters or down to the crease above the back window?

This is the only tutoned scheme available, unless a customer special ordered a truck that specified that only the roof was to be painted white....and a special order would have been the only way that would have been done.
White was not used for the roof if tutoned (excepting camperspecial65's tutoned white rarity).

Anyone have any pictures of the two tone yellow (bottom) and white upper? I saw one like that at the auto show here in Portland a couple months ago and it looked great. Also...the trim for 63/64 is the only type that has the red painted inner piece....and yet I've seen several trucks here that are 65's or 66's with that style of trim....where are people finding the 63/64 trim if it's not being reproduced....I didn't see anything on e-bay.

There is a 65 here in Prineville Or. that is painted like yours, mostly I've seen the CC's are painted like my Sons, it is the red and white truck in the pictures with my Green and Gray truck.
