i always thought a deep black and a dark red or maroon always went well together.

I like purple and silver. I see pics of a truck from here in Texas posted every now and then, and it looks really good.

OK since your asking opinions I'm going to give mine...again. You have a sweet looking truck. The color works great on it. It's bright and attention getting. If I owned your truck, the last thing I would do is two tone it. Make that the second to last because the very last thing I would do is mix black and orange. Again, that's just my personal opinion.
If you are tired of the way your truck looks, consider some other changes to make it fresh in your eyes again. Lower it some more, or change wheels, or add flames. If you reeeeealy think you have to have a two tone truck, change your bed to a fleetside...... ![]() Personally I like it the way it is, and I'm not a really big stepside fan...... ![]() |

I agree, leave as is, steppers look silly in 2 tone because the bed will never come out right

Ocbaud: the front are 235/55/17 rear 275/60/17
N2trux: Thanks for your opinion maybe flames are the way to go. I can not find any two-tone stepsides on the net that I like. If I lowered it any more I would not be able to drive it the front has been lowered 6" and the rear has a flip kit with 2" shackles I had to c-notch the frame and put a notch in the bed also cause' my rearend pumkin was hitting the floor of the bed. It just looks tall in the rear due to the 275/60/17's (30+"tall). My headers are only about 4-5" from the ground. I could use shorty headers but I would lose some horsepower. So how about shorter tires in the rear and a nice flame job......and leave it Orange Its been this way for a few years now and I am just looking for something a little different. Thanks for the input guys

![]() I would def go with shorter tires if you can't get any lower. Even though I like your rims, maybe you should put new tires "and" wheels along with the flames (or graphics). That would give you a fresh look..... ![]() I know this isn't a stepper, but this is the only way I would see a two tone on your truck working.... ![]() |

I love look of your truck and the color just the way it is but, if you really want to do something to break up the solid color why not just add some custom accent pin striping in an off color just around the side markers.
You have spent way too much time shaving and smoothing it to start breaking it up with tu-tone colors or even flames. Just my .02

How about cream or silver "panels" just around the rear fenderwell and around the front fenderwell stopping at the back of the cab? (kinda like a 57 Vette)
Just a thought.
