Existing green and silver would look good
Where would the silver go?

Use the silver where the white is on the blue one. I like dark colors black, midnight blue, dark purple, maroon, and charcoal grey. For 2 tone black or blue with silver or maroon and white.

This is the best two tone scheme on a 73-91 series truck in my opinion:

Black and silver.  And no, i'm NOT a raiders fan.

But yeah, i think staying green is a good move.

the sales pitch of that has me laughing

"does the mere sight of a mini-truck bring thoughts of cramped legs, bruised knees and chafed elbows and your head bumping against the headliner?"

"five tons of rolling metal-think about that for a moment. nobody argues with five tons when its time to change lanes. its like driving the tank you always wanted for the freeway wars. hit the turn signal and the traffic in the other lane backs off. knowing pancake city is only a moment away as you move over. twenty feet and five tons of truck can be very persuasive"

Ok, i didnt understand "bad apples" ?

Oh wait, you mean bad as in "good"

Question: does that yellow/woodgrain color belong to gmc or did any of the chevys come out that way?
