Re: Best color on our trucks, in your opinion
If talking original factory colors, GM had some great blues, greens, and I love the factory bronze color.

Re: Best color on our trucks, in your opinion
I'm not a traditionalist when it comes to wheels ride height etc .... But I do like period specific paint . Solid or 2 tone ... From the greens to the orange to the golds to the blues .

Re: Best color on our trucks, in your opinion
When you guys say two-tone, you mean as in eg. body color and white top? I believe the body color split between two side moldings is "two-tone deluxe" for a 71-72 anyway.
69-70 seems to be a mixed bag from factory. In addition to "two-tone deluxe" the supplementing color (e.g., white) under the bottom side molding looks like a factory option. Same with the 67-68. I like it a lot. Anyone know if the blue 67-68 in the OP is a factory color? Great clear coat.

Re: Best color on our trucks, in your opinion
Solid color for me is any of the Greens... especially the light and medium greens.
2 tone, you can't beat Ochre and White. Gary

Re: Best color on our trucks, in your opinion
 I'm all about the Red/White Combo!! But, in my ever so humble opinion, just about all Two-tone color Combos work for me too.
