Thanks!

It even has written in grease pencil on the underside a script "transport" that I assume is due to the transport blue paint color. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | Same here, black e-coat like primer some signs of the body color overspray around the edges.

My '55 also has grease pencil marking under the hood as well, C Blue, which I beleive is Crystal Blue. I've seen similar marking on other trucks as well.
