Yes, that is the picture I was looking for to post for him. I knew I had seen the truck posted here before I couldn't remember who it belonged too.

65 Cool, if your truck only has the A code, it was never a two tone and was a solid black truck. Many solid black trucks had red and black interiors. Here is a Ranger that belongs to a friend that is solid black and has a red and black interior. To have originally been a two tone truck you would have a two letter code in the color code space.

did they paint code get two letters even if just the cab roof and back were a different color, or did it need to be the full hood, doors, bed to be a 2 digit code? I have marlin blue and white codes on mine, it's a custom cab, but only the roof and back are painted white. I didn't know if this was a cheap repaint or factory twotone

Looking at the color charts... I can not remember ever seeing a "Mint" Slick?

There were different two tone paint designs at different times but a two tone factory job will aways have a two tone code or no code if it was a custom paint color order. Hawkrod
