Need some assistance picking a color scheme (again)

71 Chevy SWB, 1/2 ton, 2WD, 402

Option 1: I was set on two-tone deluxe in ochre/white. I have all the NOS moldings. The upside is I might like it a bit more, though I think I'd want to drop the frame, because to me it looks much better. The downsides are is the cost is 15% more the alternative (below). I'd also need to drill for the clips and such. And most of all, those moldings have to line up perfectly. The suspension will be new regardless.

Option 2: Then there's the Ochre with the white top. This would match the SPID, though I may want to add tailgate molding only. I don't necessarily have to lower it, because I like both stances. I'd have to sell my moldings, but that's not a big deal. I have the stainless steel window frames and the paint separator.

Pictures are below. The first is almost like cheatin. Looks flawless and in a showroom. Anyway, which would you choose if you "could afford" both? SS is not allowed to post, you ochre-hating *%$*$......



Option 1:


Option 2:
