Regarding the red truck, there is almost 100% chance that there was only one shade of red for the year that the pictured truck was built. If the color in the picture is authentic, you can look it up. The only red I can find for 1937 Ford trucks is called vermillion, Ford number M1722. That particular color was used through 1955.

James, my name is Joe Cason (son of Nolan Cason) I can can take and send pics of the requested trim if you still need them. (Or any other for that matter) I'm not as smart as he was on the subject of old Fords, but I'm trying to learn a little more everyday

In the 1937 "Handbook for Truck and Commercial Car Salesmen" the accessory packages are clearly laid out. If interested I can copy the 3 pages and post them.

We just bought a 37 pickup to restore. I believe it has the pieces you are talking about. Not a great picture but maybe this can help. We can take measurements if that would help you.

James, the truck color you request is not possible from the picture provided. It may be the lighting that darkens the color, but no stock Ford I know of has a color red that dark.

I meant to also attach a photo from one of our members (I THINK) who found some of the hood side louver trim pieces! They APPEAR to be approx. 1/4" - 3/8" wide. I appreciate the info. on HOW they may have been attached!! I have also found another company who will make these, once I know FOR SURE what the width is and the radius - if I am unable to wait the year on Bob Drake to make them! I have also located an original invoice from ford that lists the deluxe accessories package and the customer paid $18.00 additional for it! A good bit of money since the truck only cost $455.!!! I may be a NEW MEMBER, but I am getting the hang of the forum - I THINK and doing my research. My wife (teacher of 6th grade ENGLISH) doesn't check my grammar or spell'n - thank God!!! Thanks again!!! James A. Westbrook

This was considerably more info. that I had hoped for! All of you are GREAT!!! I do have a picture of what I want my 37 Ford Pickup (with deluxe accessories package) to look like. Found this by accident on a search and found this truck won several titles - not sure with which organization! I will TRY to attach the photo!!! I wrote Bob Drake who emailed me that they are actually going to MAKE this part in stainless steel as they have had several requests (mine being one of them). Looks like it will be in ABOUT a year before they are ready to market them! If anyone can tell me what color red this truck is painted, I'd appreciate it!! Thanks for all your help!!! James A. Westbrook Just wanted to add that I was told this truck was "1996 AACA Grand National and Early Ford V-8 Club Dearborn Award winner" if that helps!
