[FC] Wheel Color for FC

[Dale K. Dewald]

Hello Charles,

I have read this information either on the web, from sales literature or 
from Mr Claypool's "Stock Is.." column.  I am only reciting from memory and 
there sure to be some more specific exceptions that I have missed, so 
please find the original source if it is important for authenticity.  As a 
general rule:

1) Rampsides, Loadsides, Corvans with standard trim = black wheels

2) Rampsides, Loadsides, Corvans with Deluxe trim = body color wheels
         Exception: Two tone paint with body color White or Ivory = red 
stripe and red wheels

3) Greenbriers with standard or Deluxe trim = body color wheels
         Exception: Two tone paint with body color White or Ivory = red 
stripe and red wheels

Note: All wheels had thin black paint (lacquer dip?) applied after 
manufacturing.  The body color wheels were only painted body color on the 
outside--this includes black if the vehicle was painted black.
