Couldn't agree more!! I love the white tops! Here's mine... And an add from GM.
OK, so mine isn't quite as shiny as ccz's... But then again, it has never, ever, seen a paint booth.

79K20, Are you saying your truck hasn't ever been painted or just that the re-paint was a "garage special"? I question the area under the window being Orange...Is the White roof on the option decal & the truck not been repainted? Chris or anyone else have any input? Was this a one/two year deal or something? I do know there were some minor changes in things along the way, but that is one that seem odd to me. Thanks, Lorne

I question the area under the window being Orange...
I think what you see under the window is an artifact of digital imaging and is just a thin reflection of the orange bed in the reflective trim.
The white should stop midway through the trim.

What size wheels and tires are you running?

What size wheels and tires are you running?
16x8 (unknown manufacturer) with 285/75 BFG AT's (33's).

Yes, the area beneath the back window is orange. Not sure why the paint does not continue down. I have seen other white tops that do terminate behind the trim like you say, but mine doesn't...??? I will have to check to see if "White Roof" is on the option decal, but I know for a fact that the truck has never been painted in any way so I'm pretty sure the white is factory. I know both of the previous owners and and neither of them had any paint or body work done to it. What is the RPO for the White top so I know what to look for?

thanks man, i love the paint scheme on the truck, especially the colors. exactly why i am keeping them, just switching them around (possibly, still pondering the paint scheme)
