I'm going color blind.....
I'll never get it painted, I know I won't. But if I did, vote on which you guys like best.

Thanks Blazerman. The reason it will stay the way it is, is because I'm trying to get a Blazer or Jimmy and sell (or trade) my 2 trucks. My first order of business with the Blazer is to put a 2" lift on it. Sound familiar? Love your truck (Blazer) BTW.

Paint job-wise, it looks just fine as is. But I'd lift it a good 4".

I like red but I am in favour of keeping the original color if you don't really dislike it. My truck is light blue and I always thought if and when I painted it I would find a darker, richer blue but the more I think of it the more inclined I am to keep it the original color. I think we expect to see vehicles of a certain vintage in colors that were popular then if you know what I mean. Basically, some colors are interchangable because they are always available but some colors look wrong for a certain vehicle and therefore detract from its look. So long as you don't choose the wrong color, it will be fine whatever color it is.

I think the med blue and white is just hard to beat. Red and white would be my second choice.

yeah, I think I mis stated the original color as "Medium Green." I think, according to a 72 brochure I got the color is listed as "Meadow Green." It looks alittle better without those "bugcatcher" mirrors.
