Need help with 1970 F100 Color code

Post by SoFlo70 »

I have tried to determine what the correct color code is for my truck but can't find any reference sources that have a two digit code.
The code on my VIN plate is 57. Currently the truck is painted two tone white and blue but it looks as though the original color may have been a solid blue. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Don’t know how your code looks on your plate but
5= diamond blue and 7= Harbor blue.

While not very prevalent, I can see that as being a two tone scheme. Diamond Blue is an extremely light blue (my truck's original color) and Harbor Blue is a darker shade. Could it have originally been a two tone truck?

57 would be two colors. The first number is the number used for the top color. The second number for the bottom color.
