I have always liked 2-tone on the old trucks but always thought the AD's were only available in a single color. For the earlier trucks this was advertised as an option see below.

Then I picked up this 1950 Salesman order book and two-tone paint is mentioned as "apply to the zone office"? So is it correct for the AD's? In light of this it looks like you could get any color or combination you may have wanted?

I wouldn't be surprised at all that you could special order a 2 tone paint scheme, especially if the truck was for a commercial business.

Just about any special order paint combination could be made in any Advance-Design year.

1954/55 were the only Advance-Design years where regular productions option two tone exterior and interior colors were available.

Does anyone have photos of their two tone interiors? I've never seen one and maybe I will two tone mine if I could see it done.

Having a hard time opening some of the links you've been posting
Tim, is it just me??? For instance, can't open the first one
but the last two to your site open just fine.
Had that same problem with a couple other links you posted to
other threads.

Denny,

I have changed hosting services 4-5 times over the post 12 years, and old hosting addresses persist in some ISP's DNS servers (and in local PC caches/histories).

Try to clear your browser cache.

And/or change your PC network settings for Domain Name Servers to:

8.8.8.8
and
8.8.4.4

Those "open" servers are well maintained. They work for me when I travel around the country and I find that I cannot get to a website that I know works.
