cab roof color?

need some feedback here. ever since i started this 68 long fleet i knew that it would remain the original light yellow with a white cab. the A-pillars and top of windshield will be yellow. the top and back of cab will be white. now the problem. i finished painting the frame a light silver (HHR trim color) sunday. so i keep getting it in my head maybe paint cab silver instead of white. what do you think? the truck will have touchs of modern thru-out. the front end will be chrome bumper, upper and lower chrome grill rings, no emblems on fenders, no letters across hood, headlight bezels yellow or chrome, not sure yet. 07 tahoe polished wheels. simple and clean. so i could use some imput on cab color. thanks, pkj

Re: cab roof color?

I have seen them all one color the '60 and '70 Fords to there's something about this year it has to be two tone and a Chevy has to be white. All the ones I have done I only did one solid color but the owner wanted it like that for a drag truck.
