Yes, it was two tone.
You could order regular two tone, body primary color (8) and roof the secondary color (S). Deluxe two tone, Body and roof primary color and inside the racetrack moulding the secondary color. Or you could order both regular and deluxe two tone, the body is painted the primary color and the roof and inside the moulding is painted the secondary color.

You could contact Kevin Marti and buy a VIN report. This will show you the options that your truck had when it left the factory Marti Auto Works - Concourse Quality, Hobbyist Price
Or you could contact Ford Customer Service and request a VIN history. This is free from Ford but it takes a while. Years ago Ford sold all of their info on our trucks (and other vehicles) to Marti and now have to contact him to get it.
