What do I have?

I just bought a 76 Highboy for my husband. This is what I can find from crawling under it, but what does it all mean. 76 type 261 Tranny "A", Axle code 24J; 3550 lb Front Axle and 4660 lb Rear Axle, 235 four speed with 205 xfer case, 6 lead spring and made in Michigan. Also, I want to have it painted, whats best an original factory color for that year, or just my personal favorite? Where can I find out what factory colors for that year. Help, this is all new to me, but I want to do it right.

Go to this link in the tech articles section: http://www.medicine.wisc.edu/~mrm/bronco/ftvin.cgi
Enter the info from your driver's side door panel and you should be able to find out most everything you need. As far as the paint colors go, I suggest going to Ebay and doing a search for an original sales brochure and that will have in it the colors for your truck.
