Color options

What do you guys think would look the best on my 72?
These are the colors I like the most. Just give me your opinion on what would look the best.
I am going to be doing black interior because of prices.

Re: Color options

black will ALWAYS look bad ass, it'll always be in style, it'll always be classy... and it is easy to touch up.
The body work stage sucks though.

Re: Color options

I like the orange but do something different with it. I like orange and a creamish orange.

Re: Color options

I like that, without the trim just painted and pinstriped, looks pretty sweet

Re: Color options

Tell us more about your truck.What way are you going with wheels/tires/stance and overall approach.There`s hardly a bad color for these trucks.These trucks can make a bad color look good.Is black upholstery really cheaper?I never noticed.Do you want a stock or close to stock or custom look?

The military wheels were 16" and skinny.That guy has alot of money into those wheels and it looks fantastic.The two-tone killed it,IMO,especially two-tone w/o mouldings.Looks cheap.I like that color and wanted to go that route on the`72 CheyenneSuper K/20 I had w/saddle interior and woodgrain accents incl/matched wood bed floor.I could have been ahead of the fad if I ever had.Oh,well,truck`s gone.

Re: Color options

I am going with Sunset Orange on my 69 fleet and the blue they used on the IROC's back in the 80's on my 69 Stepper.

Re: Color options

Whose black 68 is that at the top? The new style bed is always just been so so for me, but that one looks really good and lines up great. It looks more like its supposed to be there than just adding a new bed.
