So, it seems there is no consensus on what is the best available color code for the steering column, steering wheel and shifter for the early AD trucks. I am ready to restore my parts and I can find the paint. I am about to just paint them black (like the 54/55 trucks), but would rather paint it correctly for my year, 1952. Has anyone figured thsi out? My paint supplier says the Dupont 8540 is not a good number. The closest I could find was 8540L which was a Jaguar color called Sable.
