The Filling Station has a new wiring harness for your truck as well as the correct Dark Blue-Gray engine paint.

Ok, here goes the best match that I have found for Boatswain Blue (duco# 246-3207) is the 68-69 Toyota (T-1386) Orbit Blue (ACME#90300) and (R-M# T0075) This is a GOOD match. The floor pan is Gloss Black, as is the battery cover and the trans cover. The Generator is also black I will research some of the other items more later.

Ok, good deal. How abour the silver stripe and the red pinstripe in the silver? I have some blue color left, so I think I'll have it color matched from my painter. When you say floor pan are you talking about the floorboard itself? My transmission cover/battery box cover is one big plate that bolts down to the floor.

You can also try the VCCA Paint Advisor Raymond Winstead 336-599-5155 he would have more information.

Thanks Lil Johnny. My truck is definately boatswain blue. I have plenty paint left to match on the firewall and under the dash. I am going to get my painter to match boatswain. My problem is locating the argent silver match and the totem scarlet match. My 46 did have a paint tag on it under the hood but as usual with most vehicles someone took it off. I'm also trying to cross the dash and steering column colors also. Everyone keeps telling me about Jim Carter. I know he has the correct colors but have you ever tried to buy your painter his own paint and then ask him to do your vehicle? LOL highly unlikely he cares for your business after that. If my truck had never been repainted I might have a chance to cross everything. Unfortunately, the original owner decided to paint the truck red with black lights.

Great, but I can't e-mail you because I do not have your e-mail address. It's also not listed in your profile.
