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?

I have a 1963 block frome a 3/4 ton ford it is chream. block cast in 62(no breather hole and was stand. bore. hope this helps cliff

Would you say cummins cream color would be close to it? There isn't much color left on my block.

i would say it is very close
