OE wheel color

Post by 5262chop »

I have a 1969 f250 Camper Special that I'm restoring. Does anyone know the OE color for the wheels?

That is correct. Ford used 'Wimbledon White' on body panels, but 'Corinthian White' was used when painting grilles, bumpers and wheels.

Thank you. I was going to go Wimbledon White. I'm glad I asked.
