I think it would look good on your truck, if it was my truck, I'd to that color combo in the factory two tone style (keeping the center mouldings on) I think that is a great characteristic of the 73-80 trucks

it would look good black and red the colors are inferno red (maroon) off an 04 neon . the black is factory black code .your truck would look awesome in these colors the gold in the red really stands out. You could do it like a special edition truck with stripes on the hood and factory options like heavy half chevy sport or any thing you car imagine. good luck it looks cool now with these colors too ;D

Here's a few 2 tones i've seen in some other places, I think the owners done some excellent jobs on theirs... maybe this could give you some color ideas.
