need paint ideas...
my truck is going to get painted in the next week, and for the past few weeks i was positive on leaving it all white. Now im starting to think of maybe a two tone, something near stock looking.
black on bottom, white in the middle with a white roof and black on top (did that make any sence?) or maybe red white two tone, or blue. i dont know... i like orange too!! this might not be the nest place to post this but if anyone has a suggestion on color, or wants to do a photoshop on an 81+ swb, that would be great. also, im going to keep it simple, no flames or crazy stuff. thanks in advance. Joe

Re: need paint ideas...
lots of truck pics on here for some idea's.look thru the lets see some 73-87 shortbeds thread.your first idea about using one color is cheaper than two tone.

Re: need paint ideas...
gflo383-
I didn't quite follow your description of the color combo that you're after, but I threw together a few 'stock' looking combos. (I hope Classic 87' doesn't mind using his truck as a base.) BTW, silver instead of white as one of your colors might look nice.
