Here's a pic I found in Classic Truck. I like the white cab and quarter panels. It also has a white grill. I want to do mine in metallic blue instead of gold. What do you think of the two-tone?

dinnut · 11-16-2003, 02:14 AM

bigger picture... i like the two tone personally

gonebad2 · 11-16-2003, 02:17 AM

Nice classic look...I like it. I like the shaved streetrod look too.

1969 GMC · 11-16-2003, 02:19 AM

that appears to be a '68 50th anniv. truck...I like the gold

but the metallic blue sounds good too

MrShelley · 11-16-2003, 02:19 AM

Two tone is a very nice look. Anything to set a truck apart from the monochromatic look of the 90's. Just don't paint it black and silver...those are MY colors!

Longhorn Man · 11-16-2003, 02:21 AM

That does look like a 50th...and a dang good lookin one too.

**Canadian694x4** · 11-16-2003, 02:22 AM

I say go for it I have that paint scheme only it's red with white roof and white lower below my belt molding....

dmurphy68 · 11-16-2003, 02:39 AM

here is a quick one in blue

dmurphy68 · 11-16-2003, 02:41 AM

here is a quick blue

Longhorn Man · 11-16-2003, 02:41 AM

That blue looks good too...amazing how they parked the blue one in the exact smale location/angle as they did the gold one huh? Uncanny.

doughby82 · 11-16-2003, 04:51 AM

i like the gold and white.maybe a black and white would look sweet

casey · 11-16-2003, 05:30 AM

bluec10 I think that color break up would look sharp, go for it

68LSS1 · 11-16-2003, 05:52 AM

I like the gold and white but I'm not sure on the blue and white. Maybe a dark silver? But now that I've gone back to look at it a few times it's sort of growing on me.

67cst · 11-16-2003, 08:25 AM

that truck is the truck that inspired me to hunt down my first 67-72, it is awesome!!! you wouldnt think those colors would look good but once you see it wow its impressive, ill try and find the article on that truck because i dont think that is white, it was something else..obviously close to white but wasnt i dont think

jeffbo · 11-16-2003, 04:41 PM

Isn't that style of two tone factory for the 67 and 68's?

*67Fleetsidedream* · 11-16-2003, 04:43 PM

Very nice

Actually, you could get that later also, but for the best part, mostly it was only used in the 67 and 68 line ups.

ZOOMY · 11-17-2003, 12:51 AM

Can anybody identify the wheels for me ?........Thanks......Zoomy

Class of 69 · 11-17-2003, 01:02 AM

A pearlescent white gives a very nice contrast without being as stark as white. Also goes better with metallic colors, like Blue!! I love blue metallic.

jeffbo · 11-17-2003, 01:11 AM

I found my old copy of Chevy Truck with the feature on this truck. The wheels are Billet Specialties Ponoma, 17x8 with 245/50HR17 in the front and 18x9.5 with 295/45ZR18 in back. Besides the wheels and drop, the truck is basically stock.

ZOOMY · 11-17-2003, 01:43 AM

Thanks JEFFBO......Gotta have a set..........Zoomy

jugernot · 11-17-2003, 03:07 AM

I think the two tone is a classy retro look, kind of the old school meets new age. I say go with the blue and white. send us some pics.

/<eystroke · 11-17-2003, 12:24 PM

I think it would look good with a medium grey with white. I think it looks good with a darker or more neurtral color than a bright, electric color.
But that is just my preferences.

Here is a couple of colors.

landon4421 · 11-17-2003, 12:46 PM

I think it will look great !

Slammed67 · 11-17-2003, 03:03 PM

Not to change the subject, but did anyone notice how he raised the whole bed slightly, then lowered the bed trim to try to hide the offset body lines? I believe that truck has air bags and he raised the bed slightly for pumpkin-to-bed floor clearance.

Sorry, I just notice these kind of things

Oh, and I also like the look of the two-tone paint.
