1972 paint code
I always thought my truck was blue, I see it under trim, the carpet etc, it was sprayed white and jammed white a long time ago, I want to look for right color blue to start painting it so I looked up the paint code, it's WM. So is this a tu tone crew cab? It has blue interior.

Due to the high cost of ammunition, you can no longer expect a warning shot.
When someone was beating on my door hollering "Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms", I naturally assumed it was a delivery.

I reviewed that, I've never seen a tu tone crew and I've been wondering how you figure out which part of the body was which color since there's 3 different scenarios

Re: 1972 paint code
If ur exterior paint code has more than one code example (ME). Then it was a two tone truck. The first letter is the top. The second is the bottom.

Re: 1972 paint code
Ok thanks that's what I wanted to know, it's WM which is still confusing cause I'm pretty sure the whole bottom was blue, I haven't really seen any indication that the top wasn't white, it's white now they sprayed the whole truck white but it's showing through everywhere but the roof, maybe they switched the letters at the factory.

Re: 1972 paint code
My 67 is two tone. The entire truck was painted blue first. Then the white was added. Supposedly white is the color of the top. But. The white is on the bottom of it. I wonder if top meant top coat and not top of truck.
