Hi guys, I was looking over the forums and found a thread on the color orange ford used for '72 trucks.My truck I am 99% positive is chrome yellow but my paint code on the vin is 1.
I couldnt find that code on the site here.Anyone know what that code is for?
My truck looks like it was re-painted on the outside once before i got it, the paint on the dash and firewall and underneat match and look original.
Orange aka chrome yellow

Could it be "I" Calypso Coral
I'm pretty sure Chrome Yellow is well ...Yellow...or at least more yellow than orange...

So I guess that means we're Code 4 (no further assistance required)
