Hi to all truck fans from the new owner of a 55 chevy truck. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi all,
My name is Marcelo. I am rebuilding a 55 chevy pick up "big window" I got here in Los Angeles about a month ago. It was all stock except I got it with a 350 engine. So far I've added a front end mustang II IFS from CPP, a new 700r transmission and a new 10 bolt rear axle.

Next I am going to paint it and do the interior.
I have not decided on a final color for the truck yet. Some friends tell me red, others yellow, others black. I NEED HELP with the colors so all suggestions are welcomed. I might be leaning toward a nice shinny black with a red interior or maybe a nice off-white with a light brown interior. I would like to get some ideas from other truck owners
thanks.
