Thanks to everyone. I.m going to go to the local paint supplier (only an hour away) and find out what he has available. Also, I have some of the old paint (only 12 years old) which is still good, so I am going to paint a small part and take it along for a color match. Now that winter has finally arrived in central Missouri, it's going to be quite awhile before I can do any actual painting, but I figure it may take me some time to get together everything I need for this.
One other question. I'm planing on putting the cab on the frame before I paint it, so as to avoid damage when I move it. Any thoughts pro or con on that? I've got the bottom of the cab and the firewall painted already.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
