Hey Bill and Tim,
While on the topic of paint codes, is there a location of a site
that I could look at colors and codes of '55? I know the truck had an original factory color and has been painted at least twice in its life, hence the green that is on it now.
When I'm ready to paint, I am thinking of a light creamy gray
(Wet gray primer?)body with a medium gray band around center of cab (Between chrome mouldings) and medium gray rims. The inside of the cab will be the light gray as seen in photobucket pic of headliner. Was anything close to these colors offered as factory colors in '55?
As far as the year of the cab, I am satisfied with the gas peddle reasoning of '55-57. I would guess no less original than if I would have replaced the cab with a new replacement cab and probably more original as it was actually made in the right time frame! I guess it comes down to how perfect you want to get!
Thanks again,
