Both are nice, but I lean heavily towards the Blue/White two-tone.

Top pic.

Or... you could do the rare and cool looking (IMO) 558 color combo. Dark blue over med blue.

Best pic I could find of this combo.

Re: POLL- Blue W/WHITE ROOF FULL TRIM OR BLUE/WHITE TWO TONE

which blue do you prefer, medium or dark?
I'm with Chris, 558 Custom Two tone is my favorite color combo on a 72, period, dot.
After that - I'd go white top over dark blue (1st choice) or white over medium medium blue (2nd choice) body.
Solid dark or med blue looks great too.
But what I like doesn't matter! Our opinions are what we'd want out our trucks, only you can choose what you like

Re: POLL- Blue W/WHITE ROOF FULL TRIM OR BLUE/WHITE TWO TONE

My vote would be for the White Top/Solid Body. My "personal" preference more so would be the Solid Body being in the Dark Blue (508?/538?) Colour with only the Lower Wide Moldings with the single chrome band at the back of the cab separating the White Top

Re: POLL- Blue W/WHITE ROOF FULL TRIM OR BLUE/WHITE TWO TONE

Love the full two tone with molding in any color. Went with a blue/white on my truck over the original med bronze and white because it reminds me of my dad. Not a fan of the wood grain lower that came on my truck. Will be installing the black lowers I purchased when the time comes. Pics in my build thread.

First looks like a nice sport coat.
Second looks like a custom suit.

I would go with the second:

Re: POLL- Blue W/WHITE ROOF FULL TRIM OR BLUE/WHITE TWO TONE

I don't think you will ever get a consensus on here. Only because they are both great looking. The deluxe sure is striking with the white against the blue. That's always been my preference.

I was hoping for an actual poll. I'd say top picture today. Can't go wrong with the blue on these trucks

Re: POLL- Blue W/WHITE ROOF FULL TRIM OR BLUE/WHITE TWO TONE

Top or bottom pic? I see them side by side.

Tough call, they both look great. I'd go with solid blue and a white top.

Re: POLL- Blue W/WHITE ROOF FULL TRIM OR BLUE/WHITE TWO TONE

Both are beautiful!
I will say that painting with the white in middle too adds ALOT more time, thought & effort into the paint process, but part of it if going for that look.
