MDFarms · 12-09-2021, 11:22 PM

Sorry if either pics is of anyone's truck just an example for my question.

I’ll start Top pic for me

**70STOVEBOLT** · 12-09-2021, 11:25 PM

Top pic but without side trim

**the67Beast** · 12-09-2021, 11:27 PM

Both are nice, but I lean heavily towards the Blue/White two-tone.

**cericd** · 12-10-2021, 12:24 AM

Top pic.

Or... you could do the rare and cool looking (IMO) 558 color combo. Dark blue over med blue.

Best pic I could find of this combo.

**jocko** · 12-10-2021, 12:42 AM

which blue do you prefer, medium or dark?
I'm with Chris, 558 Custom Two tone is my favorite color combo on a 72, period, dot.
After that - I'd go white top over dark blue (1st choice) or white over medium medium blue (2nd choice) body.
Solid dark or med blue looks great too.
But what I like doesn't matter! Our opinions are what we'd want out our trucks, only you can choose what you like

**CS1972** · 12-10-2021, 01:32 AM

Blue/White two-tone.

**Canadian694x4** · 12-10-2021, 01:47 AM

My vote would be for the White Top/Solid Body. My "personal" preference more so would be the Solid Body being in the Dark Blue (508?/538?) Colour with only the Lower Wide Moldings with the single chrome band at the back of the cab separating the White Top

Nima · 12-10-2021, 02:03 AM

Blue/white, two tone

**chev-obsession** · 12-10-2021, 02:23 AM

Blue/white two tone. Bottom picture

**Richard** · 12-10-2021, 03:29 AM

Love the full two tone with molding in any color. Went with a blue/white on my truck over the original med bronze and white because it reminds me of my dad. Not a fan of the wood grain lower that came on my truck. Will be installing the black lowers I purchased when the time comes. Pics in my build thread.

**Getter-Done** · 12-10-2021, 07:18 AM

Blue/White Two Tone.

FRCvette · 12-10-2021, 07:29 AM

Two tone for me but I like them both.

68Gold/white · 12-10-2021, 09:33 AM

THey both look awesome to me!!!

**jocko** · 12-10-2021, 10:58 AM

both pictures are two tones, one is conventional, one is deluxe

Thundarr · 12-10-2021, 11:12 AM

First looks like a nice sport coat.
Second looks like a custom suit.

I would go with the second:

**geunther** · 12-10-2021, 01:26 PM

I don't think you will ever get a consensus on here. Only because they are both great looking. The deluxe sure is striking with the white against the blue. That's always been my preference.

**special-K** · 12-10-2021, 01:30 PM

I was hoping for an actual poll. I'd say top picture today. Can't go wrong with the blue on these trucks

**Stocker** · 12-10-2021, 01:38 PM

Top or bottom pic? I see them side by side.

Tough call, they both look great. I'd go with solid blue and a white top.

KQQL IT · 12-10-2021, 02:25 PM

White top and maybe White below the lower trim ?

fun in dirt · 12-10-2021, 03:01 PM

Both are beautiful!
I will say that painting with the white in middle too adds ALOT more time, thought & effort into the paint process, but part of it if going for that look.

KQQL IT · 12-10-2021, 03:42 PM

This style is my favorite

68Stepbed · 12-10-2021, 05:01 PM

Two-tone!!
