Melissa, The Dodge Truck History and Restoration Guide lists all the original Dodge Truck Colors. Vintage Power Wagons has a reprint of a manual showing Power Wagon Colors with paint chips. Or if you want to go original, just tell us what year it is and we'll tell you what colors were available. A partial list includes: Seawolf Submarine Green, Dodge Truck Red, Dodge Truck Dark Green, Black, Gray, Sand, Pine Green, Dodge Truck dark Blue, etc. You need to decide what type of paint you wnat to use, because not all colors are available in today's paint. For instance, mine (1950) was dark green. dark green is only available in a one-part straight enamel. I chose Pine Green (1953 or 1956) because it's available in a two-part acrylic enamel, which is more durable. Finally, most were painted with fenders and running boards black. These were available in body color in later years. Good Luck!
