The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop "34" Paint Colors

The best I can tell is that the original colors on my 34 1/2 ton were dark blue cab and box with black fenders and boards.
My attempts can only take me back to 36 colors.

So anybody out there have any information on the colors used in 1934, also does anybody know where I can buy the formula for that paint so I can have it mix locally

Hey bobmc . . . I remember eating at the Quaker Steak and Ale in Coraopolis a couple of years ago, they had an old International truck out front rusting away!

I want you to meet Emmett - he was originally Green and black in 1935. Was repainted in 1960 to this color scheme and will be left alone as I like to have at least one of my trucks as a country driver during the summers I have a list of 35 paint colors and will see if I can dig it up - might even have '34 as well . . . will post if I can find it.

Quaker Stake and the old inter. are still there. I have been told by the elders that back in the old days, at least here in pa, all p.u. were considered to be commercial. As such you were required to have the name of the business plastered on the side of the truck. My 34 hails from a poultry farmer named Stanley Willson. Plastered right on the doors it states Stanley Willson Poultry. Must be how your truck got named.

Any how, if you find those paint charts I would be grateful. I believ my blue is much darker.
