Painting ideas for my 72 K20

Can anyone send me some pics I can use for inspiration for painiting my 72 K20. Right now it is Gold with a white cab. I am having a complete frame off restore done, and am trying to decide on a paint scheme and thought some pictures of what has been done to others trucks of this vintage would help me decide, I was leaning toward red with white stripes.

Re: Painting ideas for my 72 K20

I am looking at something like the light green myself. Is it seafoam or light green or Forest Service Green or what. I can't find it for our years at the paint store.

Re: Painting ideas for my 72 K20

Medium Gold is a great color when new.What color interior do you want and what trim will it have?
