It is a medium dark red. I never found anyone who could really tell me what the color is. I have heard it called a "high saturation" red, whatever that is. Just pick one you like if you can't find one to look at. Here's what mine looks like in a picture. It looks a little darker than that in person. If you have a 2013 Hemmings truck calendar, go to June and you can see a truer copy. By-the-way, the carburetor color is incorrect. http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg264/rcrispd/PA300131.jpg Richard

Same as the '51. They were all red '48-'52.
