Black top
Here's a combo you don't see too often.
Orange with a black top. I figured the top was painted sometime later, but it's original. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972-...item4ac355fed8

Re: Black top
Factory color combo. 70-72 code 565 black/red orange custom two-tone.
Sicklajoie, I'm kind of surprised you haven't done this to your truck yet.

Re: Black top
It's tempting, although I'd rather do white.
Someday....

Re: Black top
I can say for 100% certainty this is a legit color combination. My father also owned this exact truck but it had the black vinyl top youve seen talked about in other posts. I am building a 1969 longbed prostreet version of his exact truck right now which I hope to finish before he passes due to poor health. He is currently in the hospital as we speak, I love the orange and black although I also like the two toned orange and white. Just a orange color fanatic I guess

Re: Black top
I didn't open this thread at first because I thought the topic was asphalt
 I've seen an all original Red Orange & Black conventional two-tone (top) '72 GMC Sierra w/black interior. That was cool. The black glove box door really set the interior off. I was thinking the owner might be a Baltimore Orioles fan...heh heh. Joe,I like your truck solid paint,although I guess you're thinking the white top and wheels would compliment one another.
