Two Tone paint scheme for tailgate

Post by truckjunky87 »

My '69 F250 is a two tone with green upper and white lower. It didn't come with a tailgate however and I have finally picked one up but it is red and so I'll need to paint it. Anyone have pictures of a tailgate from a two tone truck? Is the tailgate two tone as well or is it solid color?

seeing how there were several ways Ford did two tones, there may be more than one way the tailgates were done too, I haven't looked into it :hmm:

I just looked through my fairly extensive collection of '67-'72 truck pics, and all the two-tone trucks I've got were identical to OldBlue67's pic above. Even if the truck had no other stainless trim on the tailgate, the tailgate on two-tone trucks would have a lower trim piece to separate the upper color from the lower.

Here's another example:
