What ever you want, I change my mind about every 4 weeks.

rollenhard · 09-11-2011, 05:04 PM

Tell me about it OrrieG I have to many visions in my head its driving me crazy

hotrodrookie · 09-11-2011, 05:06 PM

Keep it black so it won't look like mine when I paint it flat green

. You're the one that's going to be driving it, you make the call.

rollenhard · 09-11-2011, 05:11 PM

I am going to be selling the truck pretty soon so im kinda looking for a color that everyone likes in general

mknittle · 09-11-2011, 07:20 PM

The Forrest Green one above is fantastic.

Check out this '40 COE. It's my absoute favorite for the earlier-than-Task Force trucks. I think its quite close to Army Drab-Not!

i.e. Army Drab made glossy.

rollenhard · 09-11-2011, 08:29 PM

Wow that looks great

rollenhard · 09-11-2011, 10:16 PM

**Dan in Pasadena** · 09-11-2011, 11:47 PM

Custom Classic Trucks magazine. There were more and better photos of it but now they're not on the site....or at least I can't see them.

rollenhard · 09-12-2011, 10:04 PM

matte Black Or Matte Drab Green

**jocko** · 09-12-2011, 11:05 PM

sorry - should posted a pic of omaha orange above - here ya go, LOVE IT!!!
Would love it even more if it were faded, but what a beaut. Btw, this is/was on ebay recently - might still be. It's a 3/4 tonner.

FFredo · 09-13-2011, 12:29 AM

Dan keeps teasing me with that green.....

**jocko** · 09-13-2011, 12:56 AM

i gotta say - i likes the greens too - here's one of my faves...
But it's also hard to beat a DARK blue. So many colors, so few trucks (in my garage, that is)...

**jocko** · 09-13-2011, 12:59 AM

by the way - I've never seen the guy with the green 55.1 on this site - but he has a very interesting and cool blog on how he fixed up his ol green 55.1 - I really enjoyed reading this: http://www.laroke.com/larryk4674/2000/bbwip.htm

**jocko** · 09-13-2011, 09:27 PM

dang that's purdy

rollenhard · 09-13-2011, 09:40 PM

good looking red Root2812

Every single shiny paint job will show everything and anything. You like the black and the olive green, so why not do the fenders in black and the body and grill in the green. Instead of gloss go semi-gloss, the semi will show less obvious marks than full gloss will and it will set it apart from the other thousands of trucks out there.
