1958 F100 Paint Code I have a 1958 F100 pickup with a paint code of "S" on my vin tag. I can't find an S on any paint charts. Any idea what the S code was??? The truck was restored in Red but I have no history on who built the truck. Thanks.

Re: 1958 F100 Paint Code If I remember correctly, the "S" stands for "Special ?" and could be any paint color Ford had for that year. I don't know if, by that definition, it would also include Mercury and Lincoln colors.
I have a friend with a 56 Tbird, "S" for paint code, and uses a color that is not a standard color for a 56 Bird. The color was another FOMOCO color |

There was also a color code P, for primer, for painting after delivery. The original build sheet / invoice records for '58 light trucks likely don't exist so picking an out-of-the-way spot to sand it down to the original paint may be an option, if you really want to know. |
Re: 1958 F100 Paint Code Thanks, I suspect it may have been a fleet color for a customer.

Re: 1958 F100 Paint Code A search of the cab and bed both show that my truck was originally a green that best matches 1958 Mercury color Emerald. So, being that my truck is a plain base model I wonder why it was built with the S code special paint. Probably never answer that but at least I know how it started life.
