I have a 1936 truck that has the exact same paint as the one in the picture from the Auburn swap meet . I got mine in Idaho. I always thought it was originally Yellow because of the over spray inside the cab, it also has Blue finders.
What shocks me is the Blue strip around the cab, always thought that was added later by the kids that drove it.
Now that I see that one, maybe ford painted it. I am in the process of making a hot rod out of it

Root, Pop's original 2nd owner '36 Ford pickup was originally the Vineyard Green. Nice looking color he had it repainted in the 50's why I don't know. Guess he got tired of that color.

No such thing as a 'bad' color on a '35 or '36 Ford pickup. (Black or Washington Blue is awful hard to beat though

)

This is the 36 ford truck with original paint that I am turning into a hot rod.

Brendan · 04-07-2017, 08:03 AM

yup i bet that was a demonstrator!

Our local paint store could not mix Nason in Vineyard Green by the paint codes so I had them color match from an original inner fender panel off of an early 1935 truck. They needed a flat panel and the inner fender was wavy so they did their best to get a match.
I’m blending newly painted panels up to originals and the match is pretty close.
IMO a full paint job would be as original as could be reasonably achieved...

Here is the info if anyone is interested.

I've posted about my 'demo yellow' '36 half-ton.

Reading up on '36 pickup Ford-painted (yellow)black-fender demos=demo'd for the year w the attention-getting color while being demo'd, which brought customers into the dealership. Per Ford, after demo'g for the year, the dealer is to repaint over the yellow with a '36 Ford commercial color, then sold as a used demo half-ton.

There was the yellow under my '36 half-ton dealer repaint Ford-green color. The truck had lotsa options . . . is what clued me to the fact that this was a demo.

There was a Duncan Blue as well, darker than Washington Blue. Other blues as well! type in your search bar: "1936 Ford colors" or "1936 Ford commercial colors"

Reading over this thread and noticed some comments by Jerry Grayson. Jerry was my closest friend for years. I really loved that guy. Agape love. A wonderful go guy on 35-36 pickups. I really miss him. Thankfully we will see each other again before long. God promised that, and I believe it.

highbeams · 08-03-2022, 02:34 AM

Yes, I had a '36 half-ton demo that I bought from a EFV8 photo ad because I noted it had dual spares w/ indent for tire on each rear fender, chrome windshield surround, dual w-wipers, rear chrome bumper.

I bought the truck and then redd up on it because of all these options. Mine was vineyard green, (repainted by dealer for resale as a new truck; I scratched 1" scratch between the back cab and bed to discover the yellow.

A rare truck; I eventually sold it to an acquaintance. Still on the road here in Calif.

Oh what a trip down Memory Lane this posting has been. Posts by Jerry Grayson, my dear and best friend for many years. We traveled the country to car shows and flea markets for years. We lost that fine man several years ago. And "Chet" Chambers, another 35 Pickup owner that I got to meet personally when he and his wife came through town quite a few years ago. Chet machined the running board step plates so they would work on our trucks and I gave him a spare tire locking hubcap for his truck. I was "in love" with both Jerry and his wife Gwen for many years. Both are gone now. We lost Chet several years ago but I sort of stay in touch with his widow, Joyce, through Facebook. Thanks for reviving this thread Roothawg. You made my day.
