I would choose the color primer that is closest to what you want to apply for finish paint. For example if the truck is going to be white, use light gray. If the truck is going to be a dark color, pick a dark gray or black primer.

Just note most primers are porous and will allow rust to form if left to weather. The best primer as a base for just about any paint is epoxy, which seals the metal and also makes a great base for body filler.
