Restoring a 65 need right color
I have a 65 F100 I am currently working on, previous owner tried for a Harley Davidson paint scheme and did a poor job of it. Truck is black and orange with a bright red seat. I am hoping to find out what my truck was originally.
Vin F10DL679710
Door tag reads
W.B. 115
Color A
Model F101
Body E81
Trans A
Axle 07
Any help would be appreciated she deserves to look better.

Couple of web sites displaying color chips. As best as I can determine, the exterior A code represents 'raven black'. In the first site, the 'raven black' is not listed under the 65 chip selection but is under the 62 Ford truck chip selection.
https://www.ford-trucks.com/index45.html
In the second web site, it list the A code as 'raven black' but does not display the color chip. By entering model (Ford Truck), then year, it will bring you to the chip selection. By entering the color name, it should bring you to selection of part numbers by paint type. Perhaps once you establish what paint type interested in you can call and request paint chip. Not sure I would repaint in acrylic enamel.

Not an authority, perhaps more knowledgeable member can assist, but appears there are 2 part numbers for the 'raven black' AE60=Acrylic Enamel 1724-A (U.S. Part Number), and AE60=Acrylic Enamel 1724-C (Canada Part Number).

Is there any way to know what the interior colors should be? all I know currently is it is a custom cab.

Oops! Thought I saw a C in there! But it's an "L" which is Michigan assembly plant I think...
As for the interior, that should be on the door plate. Mine says:
WB Ext Model Int Body Trans Rear
114 L F100 3 81 A 12
Another member here said the 3 under Int was for "Medium Green Crush Vinyl / Medium Green Rib Vinyl" on my truck. Do you have a code for yours?

AE60-1724 is the paint code/part number for the black you need...in the 65 shop manual its called simply black...

W.B. Color Model Body Trans Axle
115 A F101 E81 A 07
I do not have anything that say's Int or Ext color. the rest of the tag info is weight. I wish there was a way to find the truck's origin so I can see the dealer info. the inside is confusing me, the door panels are dark red vynil, the bench seat is bright red, the dash is spray painted black and orange. There is no headliner and the sun visors are white.

As others have spoken; I use PPG paint code from a 64 paint chip to attain the Raven Black paint. The only time I saw a problem with using paint is in colors like white; if you go and get some mix up ensure you get enough the first time; having folks pre mix additional paint is challenging to match.
By the sounds of it; your interior should of been two tone black & red.
Is your speedo bezel round or sweep style; Round would've been white; and the sweep style a aliumuin (sp check) color. Being a custom cab your speedo should be sweep style.
