Re: Color Preference

Mine was originally the med olive poly too and its going orange. We still have to decide on if we want it 2-toned with the white sides/cap or not.

Re: Color Preference

I like the dark olive too. I've always thought the short fleetsides look great in solid black

Re: Color Preference

I prefer solid color and original color on a truck like this. But,If I assemble a truck I'm more creative on everyhing.

I think you're right - the one I psoted has been for sale out of an INCREDIBLE collection for some time. it originally listed for $55K. Yes, $55K... Not sure what it eventually sold for.

But just think, if you left it medium olive, you could have a BEAUTY like THIS ONE on your hands....

I like Black but I think it's used too often. I'm pretty set on the Dark Olive. Thanks for the input!!

I could tell you were leaning toward dark olive the whole time. Either way it will be an awesome truck.

Good choice there, Dan.

Re: Color Preference

Might be too late to vote but I am very happy with your choice of Dark Olive / Spruce Green.

Re: Color Preference

If you are going with a lowered non-stock resto I would go with the orange but if it's going to be a stock resto dark olive green has my vote.
