Bigdogtrucker Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 This is what's listed in the order form I got from the museum.The truck was painted blue/white when it was bought in "73,firewall and floors are black.I'm thinking that's the color it came through.

farmer52 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I think the museum would know the color for the code.

Bigdogtrucker Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 They all seem to be three digit codes from what I've seen. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37084-mack-color-codes/#findComment-259808 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdogtrucker Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 The blue on this truck is a Ford color,i'm betting it came through black. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37084-mack-color-codes/#findComment-259852 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdogtrucker Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Original owner finally got back to me...It was black/red when it was picked up at the dealer.Pondish painted in blue/white first thing,these were their new colors after switching from a dark green they had since 1946.Did Mack two tone these trucks at the factory back then or would the dealer have had that done?
