Hi there! I'm trying to figure out the correct paint color for my Ford. The truck was originally a custom-order cab and chassis, and for some reason, the paint code wasn't stamped on the VIN plate.

So far, the leading candidate is Yucatan Gold (Color Code R). The problem is that every example of a Yucatan Gold Ford I've found has either been repainted a slightly different shade or is too rusted and faded to make a good comparison. There also doesn't seem to be a universally agreed-upon example of what Yucatan Gold is actually supposed to look like.

Looking through the Ford paint index sheets, the color almost looks more like Tucson Gold
(Color Code D) to me. I haven't found any good original examples of that color either.

I'm still pretty new to these trucks, so I was hoping someone with more knowledge or experience might be able to point me in the right direction or offer some insight into what the original color could be.
