I have a 1959 F100 272 Canadian made truck. Its the original motor. The oil pan and valve covers are a orangish/red, the oil bath filter is black, the intake is cream as are the heads. However what color should the block be. No where do I read does this make sense. This truck was special ordered new by my great grand father so I do know the history on it. Everyone seems to have there opinion, but did they make 272's cream color?
