Different color roofs? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JAKES 68GMC · 06-04-2007, 02:42 PM

Does anyone have pics of 67-72's with the roof a different color than the body? I'm thinking about a gloss black roof/green body for the GMC, but I can't really envision it. Any pics would be great.

here's the only ones i can find on my hard drives... longhorns of course.

Longhorn Man · 06-04-2007, 08:54 PM

here's another i just found... .board member... it ain't a longhorn, but it DOES have a caddy power plant...so it's cool by defult.

If that site didn't host it, then you could click on this then http://web.mac.com/jason_hall/iWeb/T...s/IMGP0270.jpg

Just cuz the powerplant is so kick ass... it's an odd color too, so it goes with the thread's theme.

not the colors you are asking for, but here's mine:

Morgsie · 06-04-2007, 09:52 PM

Any one have a pic of the bronze/white combo? I think the correct name for the paint is bronze anyway...

always love the different color cabs

Mudder · 06-05-2007, 07:37 AM

Most don't realize it because how many people look at your roof.

Mine needs to get a little darker and have thought of doing it black.

JAKES 68GMC · 06-05-2007, 10:02 PM

Thanks for the pics guys, I think I'm gonna go with a black roof.

i didnt relize it either, looks awesome

, leave that way or just darkin the same color a bit

Mudder · 06-05-2007, 10:11 PM

Both colors are from the 96 GMC book. I actually seen a two tone done in those colors. The bottom was a tad lighter in the beginning. So now the roof needs to get darker. The top is a metalic.

cool, looks great as is though, id love to see what you end up doing with it

Mudder · 06-05-2007, 10:16 PM

I really have been thinking about a black top for it. The frame and interior is pretty much black.

Jake I think u will be happy with it black.

wyatt earp · 06-05-2007, 10:31 PM

a different color roof looks good on all these trucks, great color combos. i'm planning on black silloetts at the bottom with orange fading to yellow at the top. the drawing i've done should look really nice if i can pull it off.
