From Gary

"I read a few of the NewsGroup posts through Google. I don't have a way
to post there. Maybe you or John P. would like to include my response
about your truck's wheels.

A factory black and white picture of your diesel crew cab shows a medium
color (neither dark nor light) body, light grille, bumper & hood
nameplate and light color wheels. The wheels look a little darker than
the bumper/grille/nameplate. The wheels are six lug without caps or
covers on them (of course vehicles weren't shipped with hub caps or
wheelcovers installed). I would guess that the wheels were the same
color as 1963 car wheels. "

Probably because you have to use a real email address. (this is kind
of a "throwaway" account that's rarely checked.)

Gary,

I have the factory photo of the truck as well. The main body color is
green, grille and wheels are an off white.

What was the wheel color for 63 cars? Parchment White seems to be close.

Ford Wimbledon White is also very close. I've used almond appliance
epoxy and it appears to be a very close match as well.
