Both looks great, but I would go with the black. I had a new Black 70 C10 swb 350 (300hp) with a 3 spd on column. Truck was awsome and a great looker with the upgraded chrome and interior. It did however require a lot of cleaning to keep the black looking good. Good luck and let us know which one you get.

In the end it is your personal preference... but for me its gotta be black... It's one colour that never goes out of style...

Both are sharp looking but I am partial to black. Take note that red cars get tickets more often and black cars get hit more often.

I'd say black. I like dark colors, and I've heard from the psychologists that red is an "angry" color. You might find yourself experiencing road rage!
By the way has anyone done a two-tone color scheme with black and white? I wonder what that would look like? ------------------ '69 3/4 ton C20 2wd w/ 350ci/400THM and a wood bed!

Two tone red and white. The body work has to be almost perfect to come out looking stright when you paint it black.

Are you going to buy one of these two trucks, or are you just trying to figure out what color to paint yours? I prefer the black one.

BLACK for sure. Black looks GREAT but beware it will show ALL dents and dings + its a lot harder to keep clean.
But it sure is Pretty ------------------ Steve's 70 CST Soon to have a BB
