Post pics of your BLUE trucks! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm getting close to choosing a paint for my truck. Just painting the interior and firewall now, but it will be the final body color when I get to that point. I've had the truck since I was 14 and it's always been blue, so I think I want it to stay blue. Truck was originally blue, and was repainted 1981 chevy blue, I think, back in 1981. I'm thinking a darker or deeper blue, rather than a light blue, but I'd love to see what others have done with blue paint.

Here's what it looks like right now. I'll have the exterior painted in flat black or flat charcoal for a few years while saving up money for the final paint job.

Atlantic Blue from the 04-08 Dodge Rams. It has many shades depending on the light. Here's a couple pictures, and the link to my photobucket page.

Hi Matt......been about year and a half now. I liked my Vintecs but have always liked the "Halibrand" looking wheels and when these came out, I had to have them. With the soft lip, they have a contemporary vintage look. They are cast as well which I like the look more than a billet wheel. They are Gasser wheels from American Racing and are priced pretty reasonable as well.
