The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop 1959 RPO Codes

Hello,

Does anyone have any RPO code sheets for 1959 task force trucks?

I have found everything up to 1957 and everything after 1961 and no where is there a mention of the code I am looking for.

I am looking for RPO-735D

Any Info is appreciated

Seems like I found the answer here on the forum

1958 RPO - 735D Dawn Blue

1959 RPO - 735 Baltic Blue
1959 D in RPO means two tone paint

slightly different: "A" = solid color, with the lack of the "A" meaning 2 tone, any other letter indicates truck model, with "D" meaning it was a standard cab model [not deluxe cab or fleetside], and the Baltic Blue would have been the "L"ower color

Thanks Gents,

What does lower mean?
Is that below the belt line or below the window line?

lower and upper differentiate the 2 colors, but the 2 tone patterns vary, most TF 2 tones were split at the feature line, but there was also different treatments above the window line including everything one color except the top of the roof, look thru the gallery at 55-59's to see various patterns, my 58 has one pattern [from a factory foto] , but sometimes the roof above the drip rail might be the light color as well, I've never seen any real documentation other than advertising pictures

Bill,

Thanks for all the info, that is a beautiful truck you have. I have everything above the window line in bombay white. Seems like I won't know for sure what my truck came with, without a build sheet.
