Re: Should or Shouldn't (paint top white)?

Hi Jim,

I have seen your truck up close, and it is such a pretty truck, I would leave it blue if it were mine.

If you really want to paint the top white, while the average non truck person would not know the difference, being that it is the later truck (not 67), I would paint the pillers up white rather then just the cap of the cab. Just my opinion. Amazing truck and great color blue on it!!!!!!!

Re: Should or Shouldn't (paint top white)?

Thanks all for your thoughts and opinions...appreciate it.

John.....always thought about doing the top (not the pillars) and wondered how it would look...then saw yours and really liked it. I think it just aesthetically looks better.

Did they do them like yours on the earlier trucks?......I thought that when the top was painted a different color, they always painted the whole top (pillars, window frames, etc).

If I did do it, it would have to be the way the pic is, cuz I would have to pull the front window, cowl, vent windows......too involved and besides, that front glass with trim is real fun to put in!
