Re: Factory Steel grille color?
I'm guessing your right, (from the tech article here which doesn't say otherwise):

I have seen quite a few black ones, but don't know it they were painted after the fact of not?

No, they were Corinthian White. Wimbledon White is more of an eggshell color.

Re: Factory Steel grille color?
From Hawkrod: "Cornthian white was the accepted color but the subject came up on another forum and after doing some very serious digging I found out that 60's trucks actually used a color called refrigerator white. Specifically Ford sold DL60-1292 "refrigerator white" for wheels and bumpers (trust me, that took some serious digging to find this info! LOL). I am not sure if or when they changed but I thought I would mention it as I had always assumed it was corinthian and it turns out that for 60's trucks that is wrong. Hawkrod" He said he found out his information in the "Used vehicle reconditioning manual". What ever that is.
