seat and s/wheel

[Junior Knight]

OK...my 67 is rangoon red,but I'm not sure about the seat or the steering wheel which have been replaced...how do I find out the orig. color?

You can figure the color of the original interior out by decoding the body code portion of the VIN tag. You can do that on this page for decoding your truck's VIN: http://www.fordification.com/tech/VIN67.htm. Scroll down a little less then half of the way and you will see the info for the body-codes for the '67 trucks just match the codes up to the body codes that are written on your VIN tag and you will be good to go.

Thanks! I did that but I guess I didn't look close enough

the column will either be the same color as the steering column. or if the column is black so will the wheel. the interior code will tell you the seat color. if your column is also red then your seat will have been red too probably.

didn't know that...thanks!

Now I'm really confussed...steering column is black,and it looks to be orig...so does that mean that the s/wheel should be black...and the seat maybe black? the code dosen't say....

[fordman]

most of the trucks came with a package. such as standard cab custom cab or ranger. i think that was it for 67. any way the standard cab trucks had no frills. no arm rests in a 67. and all the interior colors would have probably been black matching the dash pad seat and steering wheel steering column. and in 68-72 the arm rests would have matched. in the custom cab you could have gotten any color or body color interior. i think. i know that ranger would have been color keyed to match everythign in the truck to the outer body color. there is a page some where that expalins this. but i could not find it. will it was a paragraph on one of the identifing trucks pages. http://www.fordification.com/tech/67-72ID_01.htm

Thanks for the info...most of that I thought I knew, but here is another problem: mine is a Ranger...power steering,brakes and air...all the trim on the outside..the seat and S/wheel have been replaced,the dashpad looks to be orig. it has the crack by the speaker...its red but the s/column is black ....????? so I just don't know...

[fordman]

the column has probably been replaced then. it should be red also on a ranger. my 67 ranger is the same color as the dash and seat. my steering wheel was replaced by me though. its black i think.

Get a build sheet from Ford Motor Company. It will tell you all you need to know.
Somewhere on here is an address for it. Maybe somebody can find it for you faster than I can.

Well, here's the return address on the envelope from when I got mine 4 years ago. I'm sure there was an e-mail address but I can't find it.

Customer Assistance Center
P.O. Box 6248
Dearborn, MI 48126

The address on the letter head is:

16800 Executive Plaza Drive
P.O. Box 6248
Dearborn, MI 48126

They will need your VIN #. Ask for the original specs of your vehicle. Looking at mine, as far as colors, it gives the exterior paint and interior trim color. Maybe that will help a little.

yeah i had alink to the ford website where to ask to get a ford interpretaion of the ford build sheet. but the last time i looke di couldnt find it. i do remember the web address said someting like "ask katie fordcustomerservice.com" or something pretty close ot that.
