I can't decide how do "rodstore" my truck. I am pretty sure I want a fairly stock look. But I can't decide on my color combo. ? and white two tone. I change my mind every week. This week is yellow and white. Am I nuts or what? My original colors are ochre and white. I love these colors but not sure if they will look right with the drop and wheels I "think" I want. Then comes the interior. Does it ever end?

I like the Ochre and white, plus it helps to do the same color as before.

then again.....hmmm

Actually The only thing that will remain it the cab itself. both doors, entire front clip are shot with rust. For the bed I will use Goodmark industries bed sides then rework my existing ones later to speed up the restoration. The only thing I really have against using ochre is that it is not really "sporty" then neither is the wood side trim.

I saw one lowered with thisa paint layout, sharp. Althoguh, as much as I hate red, the white/red/white/red looks SHARP on a lowered truck IMO.

If it was my truck, i would keep it Ochre. My '72 is ochre, and when i first got it i wanted to sand it down and paint it Canary Yellow. I have had it for a year and a half, and i think i have decided on keepint it Ochre. I like the color a lot, it is kinda unique

. Now all i have to do is decide if it is gonna be White/Ochre like it is now, or White/Ochre/White/Ochre..........
