Re: Ready to paint ! What color poll
You said it yourself....resale red. You plan to sell them? Everyone likes red. Black will show every blemish. The other two colors are awesome, but some won't like them. If you were keeping the trucks, I would pick something else.

Re: Ready to paint ! What color poll
Got these pics of a board members truck years ago. It just looks right to me.

Re: Ready to paint ! What color poll
Wow, I can't believe the green has that many votes. I love it but to me every other truck was that color. That's why I voted yellow. It's kinda refreshing. .......

Re: Ready to paint ! What color poll
Because of the leather color I choose BLACK. You say the body is straight enough, and a perfect black truck {DEEP & SHINEY} with a fine red pinstripe will bring the most money, IMHO. Now, If I was doing what you are doing but keeping a truck to drive daily... it would be blue and white or solid light green. I've owned a couple of black trucks and they just look dirty 5 min. after I wash them, probably because of my long gravel driveway. It's just to hard to keep it looking nice.

If it was a dark Hunter metallic green I'd be a buyer but in this case it would be the yellow one in my garage. Buy the way I have picked Ford colours two out of three times without knowing it. There is something about their shading that appeals to me. Have a good one eh.

Re: Ready to paint ! What color poll
That's the kind of pictures I was looking for. Very nice. Heck paint 1 of each color then you will have them all. Now if you could just find a good upholster guy.

Re: Ready to paint ! What color poll
Green is good! I do like green and white with the white grill on 67/8's. And if a 4x4 white bumpers too. I strayed from the stock 503 green with a close match in metallic (light green poly?). Although over the year and half since it was sprayed the color seems to have deepened (or darkened?). No matter I still am very happy with it. Second photo not mine but one of my favorites.

Green has been the leader all along. We only need to know when you buy the GREEN paint!

I voted for RED but not that hideous light red with waaayyy too much yellow in it ! more like a fire truck red, deeper , more classic looking, maybe Chevrolet's own "Swifts Red" from the Advance Design series (I'm old too) .
My '69 C/10 is the stock dark green and I love it but for resale red does the trick best . Nice to see you're keeping yourself busy and working hard .
