76 SCS thank you so much for posting so many great pics, i really like the original two tone scheme also, but you don't see to many NICE rigs around here unless you count mud as paint.

I saw a great looking bronco with a blue and white stock paint scheme that looked great.

So many great looking truck pics everyone thanks!

Real nice selection of trucks you posted. Several of them I wouldn't mind parking in my garage!
Would you happen to have a 73-79 Explorer collection?

It's an Australian Ford colour from the '98-'05 Falcon range, called Narooma Blue... Don't know how you'll go finding it, but it's an excellent colour.

I have a version of this two-tone, but it always looks funny to me, right behind the rear side marker light, as it isn't divided from one color to the other!

Mine is Whimbledom White I was going to paint it two-tone but a guy I know said he would paint it for free. He said if I bought the paint an painted it back the regular color then he would not charge me the paint is in real good shape. Mine looks like the crewcab in the 74 Ford brochure. Mine also has the two-tone blue pin stripe I will probably put a pinstripe back on it an maybe chrome trim not sure bout that yet but it will be back regular color for sure.

I may be able to get the stock color code from my local PPG supplier, it looks good.

My truck was originally red, and i was considering the original red or blue and white two tone but wanted to see other's trucks to get a better idea of how it will come out.

Thanks

Dad ordered it (Yeller) with the combination tu-tone Yellow and Black from the factory. We used a nicer yellow when we restored it in '02.







You can always go solid color with trim only:
