Sweet truck. I like that darker blue, but I think I like the lighter blue by a hair.

Having had two "Hawaiian Blue" (510 Med Blue) Chevys, I can understand your sea of blue concerns if a blue trim is used. But it should be noted that the Dark Blue does give a lot more contrast to factory blue trim and to me looks better.

The truck pictured as #3 is painted in the Special Two-Tone style. While correct for 69-70 trucks and 69-72 suburbans it was not offered in 71-72 on pickups that I am able to document.

2 tone ,with all the trim. Blue is my choice(biased) either is great though. If you want to be seen - orange , if you want a bit more class - blue. It will ultimately be your personality that will make the final choice - Both are great.

That's not 481 dude? EDIT: Ooops, I see #3 disappeared. You can still copy and paste the image URL. I believe that's a 591. The color schemes you provided really come in handy.
