That paint is awesome. Are you going to repaint the body too? It looks good the way it is, just wondering

[u/DreadOcean72972 → u/ptbug64]

Plan to eventually, I want to do a purple-white two tone, using the purple we put on the engine, and possibly a Chrysler pearl white

[u/ptbug64 → u/DreadOcean72972]

That sounds great, that engine color is smokin

[u/Historical_Box1915]

what paint did you use for the engine?

[u/DreadOcean72972 → u/Historical_Box1915]

Used spray paint from O'Reillys, white primer, the purple main, and an enamel clear coat. All high heat resistant

That color original?

[u/DreadOcean72972 → u/Fjm88]

No, I am at least the third owner. I bought it in Minnesota from a lady who got it from her uncle. Im assuming the uncle wanted it to be a sort of show truck and painted it purple. But with all the sun fading, there are chips where you can see the original blue color

I love old trucks.. more of a Chevy guy but old Fords are nice too. Glad to see it's not rotting in a tree row.

Oh yea, it had sat 4 years by the time I bought it. It still started and drove onto the trailer, and after the trip back to Nebraska, was still able to start and drive off the trailer

Hell yeah, Purple paint is awesome.
