Guys with blue trucks! Opinions welcome

[jwilb88]

My truck is currently tore completely down, but I will be going back together very soon. I am looking for some interior pictures and opinions on color. I currently have all black interior in good shape. I am just curious how the black will look with blue exterior. Pictures and opinions are appreciated!

Factory 70 Blue.

A lot depends on how dark of a Blue you are talking about. IMHO if you stay with say the 71-72 523 Dark Blue or lighter it looks very good. If you go too dark the colors tend to blob. Plus Black trim is an easy keeper in a driver.

You can kinda see the factory blue color in the pictures, I too think the black will look good.

This is my truck. im looking for interior pics not sure if i have any. but you can at least see the blue/purple against the black. i like to think it looks good but thats just my opinion.

once again no interior pics (its not finished anyhow) but here is a shot of black bed liner against blue/purple pain. (Blurple) is the name i gave it. it changes shades depending on the light direction and intensity. at night its very purple almost black. direct light lightens it up.

That's a good looking truck!

That appears to be the 68 code 506 Medium Blue Poly (metallic) in your picture. That color looks fine with Black trim.

I was thinking I may use some stitching the blue color of the truck in the seats, dash and door panels to kind of tie it in ya know

My truck is a bright blue, and when purchased, had blue interior components. It seemed like too much blue, so I went black with everything I could swap. The gentleman who re-upholstered the seat recommended blue and black herringbone fabric, and I am glad it was done that way. Here are a few pics if you haven't seen any of them before.

That looks awesome! I actually seen your truck a few times trying to google and look for ideas.. I like that your dash is white also, I too wanted to go with a blue truck/white top combo but wasn't sure on dash color

Thank you! Yes, the entire interior of the cab is sprayed white. I kind of like how it breaks things up...
