Color scheme

Right now I have orange/red with a white roof. I love blue and white, but don't want to go through the trouble of changing inside cab and engine bay to blue. So I am going keep the same color, but am thinking about adding white between the trim. What do ya'll think? Anyone have a picture of that scheme.

I imagine you would like to see less orange, but I agree with the two-tone. I had to change my avatar when you responded to that other thread.

Re: Color scheme

Two toned would add some snap to your truck. Did they have a Maroon an white option back the? Might have to get someone to photoshop one in those colors for me.

My friend picked up a blue and white 72 a few months ago and they are most likely my favorite color combo out there.

Good luck wht the addition.

Re: Color scheme

Your truck looks good as is! Isn't that color called Medium Red? That's what mine is and I do kind of get tired of people calling it orange. In some light it really looks red and in some light it really looks orange.

Damn, see ten. Between your truck and John Fabris' truck, I get weak in the knees when I see them two! Two absolutely beautiful trucks!!

Re: Color scheme

If not mistaken, maroon was a 69 color only.

That would look 10 times better IMO with the 2 tone.
