**Grumpy old man** · 07-13-2018, 08:28 AM

TO THE TOP - NEED MORE VOTES !!

I have a couple 67's Short wide beds that are close to being ready to paint frame off restoration with 2-4 drop, manuals, I'll build (Real Leather) interiors to compliment paint color,with lower mouldings ,chrome wheels, chrome bumpers ,custom bucket seats with consoles ,Wood beds with polished stainless trim . So here we go What do you think ? Both trucks will be painted the same color

These 2 trucks will be sold when done .

1 Black with / red interior

2 Resale red / Black interior

3 lt green / Lt green interior

4 Butternut yellow / Black with small amount yellow trim

**FleetsidePaul** · 07-13-2018, 08:33 AM

Black. I know it's a PITA but nothing looks better.

68panelman · 07-13-2018, 08:44 AM

I like them all but the red.
Choice in order..
1-yellow
2-green
3-black

FRCvette · 07-13-2018, 08:57 AM

1. Black with red is awesome but lots of work
2. Butternut yellow would probably be my choice. Good friend had a 67 ss nova in high school that was a pretty color.
3. Red is cool especially GM torch red
4. Green nice and clean

I love anything black with a Red Gut .

I don't even have flat black spray paint in my shop ,Never will

**atog** · 07-13-2018, 01:51 PM

Oh my That’s gonna be a dandy truck no matter what color it is. I say black just to show off your talent.

**Grumpy old man** · 07-13-2018, 02:39 PM

They are smooth enough to paint any color .

1) 350 / Muncie M-22 rock crusher / 3.73 posi

2) 292 / 3 speed master shift / 3.73 posi

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-13-2018, 09:17 AM

I like the yellow, It's not as common

bill3rail · 07-13-2018, 10:44 AM

I like that light green.
I am extremely against black cars and trucks because they show every spec of dust immediately! Even if kept in a garage if you walk past the truck the paint is a dust magnet.

weq92f · 07-13-2018, 10:50 AM

I voted for the green!

liftlawssuck · 07-13-2018, 11:00 AM

I'm pretty biased to green. I think green trucks look way cool. The yellow is pretty good color too. Can't stand black with red interiors. But from a resale stand point maybe might be good if most people like that. But I'd go green first then yellow.

greentruck · 07-13-2018, 11:08 AM

I vote for Lt green. Maybe even Medium green 518. I am absolutely not biased in any way.

68is4me · 07-13-2018, 11:24 AM

I vote light green with black coming in 2nd.

68is4me · 07-13-2018, 11:27 AM

Grumpy, do you have any finished trucks? I know you have had some in the works the last few years. If so I would like to see some pics.

Yes, I always have a few going and still have a stash of 67 short beds waiting in the barn , There are already a couple on the board that were "owner built"

Willys_MB · 07-13-2018, 11:42 AM

I like light green. I don't know what the resale value on a truck that color is, but I really like when I see a truck rolling by in one of those colors you don't see anymore.

**Stocker** · 07-13-2018, 12:16 PM

1. Butternut yellow -- you don't see a lot of them, and that pic you posted looks terrific.

2. Light green -- very nice, clean, & classy.

3. Black -- always a standout.

4. Red -- um, no, the other choices are much better imho.

nevada · 07-13-2018, 12:23 PM

am partial to green,

I think black would look great if it had that faded, distressed look to it but not so much when fresh, shiny looking.

Mikes68C10 · 07-13-2018, 12:37 PM

G.O.M.,

Gotta go Green, the color of money...
But I'd go with a Camel or tan leather interior. Green/Tan leather goes so well together, a bit classier... different

Yellow/Tan (saddle) for example of Interior color choice, better yet with light green exterior IMO...
