Paint question on a C30 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well,I am going to paint my ton truck,and I would like to paint it two tone blue and white,I have always liked the two tone on the trucks with the side chrome,I have bought new chrome for it,so I am going to put it back on,was just wondering what some ideas were for the back of the cab,if I did paint it two tone,with no bed to cover the back of the cab completly,would it look bad painted two tone,the only idea I came up with is to use the under the bed tool boxes up next to the cab on each side,any more ideas?or should I just paint it one color?in other words,I think the paint lines for the bottom white needs to be hid.

First of all...that is a good looking flat bed.
Do you have any pics from befor it got painted? At a minimum, it had a white roof, it may well have had a white center section too.
Not very common to see a cheyenne cab/chassis.
