what color should i go with on my 1971?
i am wondering what color should i go with on my 1971 4x4? it is susposed to be medium blue and white (code 542). im switching out cabs and not sure if i should end up painting it back to stock or go with orange with a white roof. and suggestions?
i want to shoot the inside of the cab now so i dont have to worry about it later. here is my truck i almost have all the body work done and ready for primer ![]()

Re: what color should i go with on my 1971?
What kind of them do you have for your project? Is it going to be a stock restoration? - if so, I'd keep with the blue and white.

Re: what color should i go with on my 1971?
right now the only original parts from this truck is the cab and frame so when i switch the cab it will only be the frame is stock. i like both color combinations does it matter for resale?

Re: what color should i go with on my 1971?
Probably not. I was going to say if you're doing a stock resto and you have the SPID still intact, then you would probably increase the value some if everything matched up.

Re: what color should i go with on my 1971?
What's wrong with the color(s) it is?
I kinda like it... My project is a bit pieced together with an orange truck and a black truck... Whenever I get any replacement panels/cab some day, it'll be painted to match the existing scheme ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: what color should i go with on my 1971?
I really like the light metallic brown they are putting on the new silverados. Classy. It's a little darker than a champaign. Probably wouldn't make for a good 2 tone if that's what you're wanting.

Re: what color should i go with on my 1971?
I am partial to the Orange and White combo. I especially like the plaid seats. Not mine.
