Maybe ever factory blue?

540 Stroker · 10-01-2002, 11:15 PM

I love black primer on 67-72 stepsides, so that's what I'd "paint" it.

brennecke · 10-02-2002, 10:11 AM

Gotta throw in my favorite scheme for multi colors

XXL · 10-02-2002, 07:58 PM

I should have added one more color to the poll... does anyone want to change their vote?

wnc mountain · 10-02-2002, 08:15 PM

Still say blue!
But I'm partial.

Chevy Punk · 10-02-2002, 08:42 PM

That last one is the exact same color i want to paint my next truck: A 67 swb, fleetside, small window bagged, 17s, 500 horse 350

imaindianoutlaw · 10-02-2002, 08:47 PM

Silver, Black, or a wild orange? I want to see what a burnt orange with a black pearl over top looks like? I like the color trinic posted! Thats the one with black pearl on top maybe, have to see it first!

It appears that pink may still be available

Well my favorite color of all time is the famous ochre (wonder why?)
Really I think a bolder, brighter yellow would look good on your truck.
I chose blue out of the choices.

*big71* · 10-02-2002, 09:33 PM

you need one of my custom pearl paint job on there brite orange or yellow with paint changing pearls

68_GMC_910 · 10-02-2002, 10:15 PM

How about Audi Silver? it will make your truck look like a million bucks!!! nothing really beats Audi Silver in terms of looking super-clean... Excellent choice for a shaved truck.

but I like the idea of the new 'Sunset metallic Orange' from the new GM trucks... I haven't seen that on a 67-72 yet... or anything else besides a brand new truck... i dunno why, it definitely rules... hell... maybe that would be a good choice for my truck...

slam33 · 10-02-2002, 10:24 PM

Well gee, seeing that PINK wasn't a factory color, I guess I'm off the hook. If I run out of untaken colors maybe I will go with Mad Cow black and white.Oh Ochre is out, I live in Souther Calif and they outlawed that color back in 73

jiggs · 10-03-2002, 02:56 AM

Keeping with your original 4 choices, I would go with the blue. Only I would change it to Dodge Viper Blue. It is the same shade of blue only with a lot of mettalic. It looks great.

The pastel teal and neon green are so 1991. I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole. Todays hot colors are brilliant mettalics, not washed out solid colors. Choose what you want, but go for a "suck your eyes out" kind of color. A trick truck like that deserves to be noticed at the blink of an eye. Just my $.02
