Unfortunately, I bought the truck in Montana, and towed it down to California where the body man started in on it, and had it blasted down to bare metal then primed. When I bought the truck, it was a gray color, which I guess is the Sea Island Green 60 plus years.

Unless your pickup was totally striped for a repaint, there should be some evidence inside the cowl panels or under the dash of the original color. The backside of the metal inspection covers on the doors may also have the original color.

Thanks for your suggestion. Is it really a light green? Almost beige?

My dad purchased a new F-1 in 1951,painted Sea Island Green. It was a subtle color in my opinion. I don't have any color photo's of it, even though we used it until 1980. If you would like to see a color chip, Auto Color Library has a photo of the chip (although given the age of the original sample it appears too dark) They of course do have the formula, so to get a better idea perhaps you could request a sample. The appearance was a light gray with a very soft green tint. I'd assume of course that you already know most of this, as your 51 should have some remaining original paint somewhere, unless it was stripped. Good luck in your quest!

I bought a 1951 F-1, and the stamping on the cowl indicates my truck was painted Sea Island Green. Can anyone send me a picture of a 1951-52 Pickup painted Sea Island Green? I am having a hard time visualizing what this color looks like on the truck. Thank you!
