Crimson and Houndstooth! -lol I'm kidding!


What color spectrum do you want to go with? light colors, dark colors, single or two-tone?

There's a ton of colors that look great on these trucks. The '67 is the best looking year, IMO - so its going to look good almost any color.

Re: advice needed !!!

The stock 508 Dark Blue looks great on these trucks.
Here is another thread I just posted 508 pictures for.

Here is a truck being returned to its original 508 by rubbing off the yellow top coat.

Seriously though, it's hard to beat a good metallic silver. Looks real good with metallic blue inside door panels.

Re: advice needed !!!

You can't beat OEM colors. 508 is real nice and if anyone doesn't like it you can always say "It's factory,don't blame me". The best thing is you don't see many that color. You can be different and right!
