Here is some background on my project-
I bought it from a guy who bought it from the guy who did the work, so I have no history on why they did what they did to it.
Its a 1967, Bodywork is mostly done, base-coat painted in 2013, clear coat is bad, it has been buffed through and wet sanded to death- no shine left. Body is off of frame. Paint code is B. I will probably have to repaint the body, but I might be able to save the jams and underhood areas.
They painted the truck Caribbean Turquoise (1966 color B) rather than Frost Turquoise (1967 color B). (I have the can of base-coat that they used, so I know that it was mixed as CT)
Take a look at the photo of the floor. It shows what I believe to be the original color on the left, and the color that they repainted on the right. The original color does not look like Frost Turquoise to me.
I am posting this because I would like to bring this truck back to original (mostly), and the question is- could this truck be correct as a 1967 with 1966 color? Like a carry-over? Last digits of Vin # is 140XX if that makes a difference.
Thanks!
