Firewall numbers??
Here are some numbers on the firewall of my '51 F1. Can anyone interpret what these might mean, please? The current color of the truck is a faded red (pink) but I can see evidence of some darker blues underneath the red. In some places where I think I see original color (on the underside of the roof where the liner is ripped away and here on the firewall and the underside of the hood), it appears to be a light blue. For '51 there was a Sheidan Blue (very dark), an Alpine Blue, and a Silvertone Grey. I was thinking I would like to make it a Meadow Green (the color of a '51 I first learned to drive as a kid), but I am now thinking I should go back to the original color. Any ideas what this color might be or do the stamped numbers provide any indication? Thanks in advance for any help you may offer. (The outside (right side) of the truck is shown to the right of the firewall image.)

Some assembly plants changed their codes around the 50 model year - especially paint codes. Instead of me guessing what is stamped there (the picture cuts off the top of the characters) could you post what it is? Thanks.
