I'd have to say they all look great! I would probably do black or yellow. Yellow because not everyone does it and I think it'd look awesome in that color.  8)
My truck is my flying fortress, the road is my sky, and Toyota's are the enemy bunkers that need a busting.

Wow, never seen that done before, that's crazy if you told me you painted it I think I would have bought the yellow and white one.  I like the yellow one myself.

Thanks Vile, I'll have to pass on the pink,  I don't want to infringe on Broadzilla,but my daughter likes it. In fact my daughter loves her truck, and since she has laid claim to my choptop, that may be in the future, but fortunatly I still have 12 years to changed her mind. For now it will be black.

To me I like the stock color. It makes it look different than what ive seen around where I live. My brothers truck is cotton candy blue. Really wierd color.

I would try a 2 tone like it is now, but better colors.  I love my truck in black, but even black and red in the middle or grey and red, blue with grey....I dont know man, a lot of color combos look great on that truck.  I like the extended cab too.  Thats the first time I have seen that.  Good luck

Black, red, or blue but if you really want to stand out and be different go bright, like the chevy orange. Sorry Vile. the pink looks good on Broadzilla's but I don't know about that on this one. lol.

ChopTop,

This month's Street Trucks editorial, mentions an extended cab built like yours. The truck is at Hill's HotRods in Lubbock Texas. Hill's is claiming that Centurion Conversions built the truck and that it was only available in 85 and 86.

The 85-86 is correct, but I am not sure on the Centurion company.  I had another name that did them.  Centurion DID build the 88-98 CrewCab Short bed trucks for a while.

Everyone that I have seen with a badge on it was Overland Coach, but I can't find them.

Very cool indeed. I like how they made interior panels that finished it off nicely. Don't break one, as they would be virtually impossible to replace! I'd love one of these trucks in an extend cab; it makes the stereo possibilities that much more vast! Odd too how they basically had proprietary bedsides too, being longer than a shortbed but shorter than a long bed. I guess making the ex-cab 3" longer to use the shortbed fenders possibly made it look a little too long.
