Hey guys, I saw this really sweet 31 pick up yesterday I didn’t get to talk to the owner, but the color was sweet! But I don’t think it’s a stock color. They never made any in this color, right?

Closest color in the book to that is "Bumper Clamp Blue" Duchess Blue is much lighter and the others darker. Even the "Niagara Blue Light" is darker.

I can't find my color chips but there were 38 colors available for trucks in 1931. Then you could order custom colors from Ford for commercial vehicles. The fenders and running boards however should probably be black.

One of our Club members has a gorgeous blue car, but it is a bit lighter.

No, I do not think that's an original. But with all of the other non-original items not surprising the color is not a original color.
Nice little truck though

Fenders, splash aprons and running board were all originally black.

Looks kind of like a 35-36 Ford color.
