What are some colors that would look good?
« on: December 24, 2010, 09:24:31 pm »
I am currently starting to get my truck ready for paint and i was wondering what colors other people have painted theirs, mine is the tan with the red in the middle and then tan again on the bottom with a maroon interior. I was leaning towards a silver or dark gray with a black interior but I would like to see some pics and hear some ideas that other people have. Thanks

My body shop came up with it, I don't know the info about it.  He was trying something new to him when he did mine, and since mine went so well he's changed over completely to the system used on mine.

Sorry to hijack the thread but what kind of seat is that. 

Also I would really like to see one of these trucks with a new chevy gray or the Purple. I think that would be easy to find and would look neat on one of these older body style trucks

When in photobucket, hover over the pic you want and in a second a box will pop up around the pic.  theres some smaller boxes inside of that.  Look for the one that says "IMG code"  and where you see a link next to that, click it once and it will change to copied.    Then you can paste the link directly into the forum post

To paste it:  right click in the reply to post box where you type your message and then select paste in the lil box that pops up.  then you're all set.
