I voted for dark grey/silver, but if you are planning on selling black makes a truck sell faster and for more.

Re: what color to paint 72 gmc?

I think white or black is the worst color for a potential off-road vehicle because it shows every little speck of dirt. I would vote for a nice medium blue or green. BTW, how come every truck shown on this thread has such big feet?

Re: what color to paint 72 gmc?

I would leave it white as there are too many orange,red,black, blue trucks around...
