I'm back. New Model A project
After playing around with Ts and tractors for a couple of years, I am back to a Model A project. This truck is in good condition, just removing the drywall screws, phillips heads, and self tapping screws from the last guys "restoration". I am taking it down to the frame and going correct from the concrete up. Should be an easy project this time. Trying to decide a good color. Any ideas?

Glade to have you back. Looks like it will be a fun project. 21inch wheels look a bit funny on a 31. Is that horn mounted to the radiator shell..

Remember there were about 38 standard colors for the 1931 Model A pickup. See the Paint and Restoration Guidelines.

Re: I'm back. New Model A project
It looks like a custom made bed. Is the cab back panel made from a sedan ? They did a good job, the best that I can tell from the picture. Could just run it as is.

From the looks of your barn resident, Farmall Red might work with an "IH Sales & Service" hand painted in period correct lettering on the doors. I would love a pickup in that theme, except mine would be Persian Orange with the Allis Chalmers logo.

Re: I'm back. New Model A project
agree with John, the best way to do a truck.
although Dick Sparks posted photos of a 31 truck he painted using all his leftover green enamels mixed together. looked great. might be on Ahooga.com not here.....

Re: I'm back. New Model A project
I also agree with John, you can't go wrong with Green and black tires and wheels. It would be nice to see a line up of pickups in different colors, because the blues and maroons are also beautiful colors.

After your last one this should be a breeze!
