Which color combo do you like best?
« on: March 10, 2016, 01:16:46 pm »
I know its totally up to me, but i like them all. Leaning towards red/white or any of the yellows. Might be starting this body project soon.

I would say blue and white all the way. But, I hate red vehicles with a passion and baby feces brown has never been a good color to me. Now, a darker shade of burnt orange could be a good color. Black with grey that has a tiny bit of blue pearl in it looks sweet too.

Of course, it's your truck so the only opinion that matters is yours. If you want flamingo pink and neon green with bass boat metal flake then do it. Whatever makes you happy.

My vote on your truck would be to keep it the original green color.
Its a clean looking truck.
If your gonna change it, blue and white looks great on these trucks.

Thanks LTZ! I do have a couple cancer spots and i stink at body work, i might as well patch with play doh or silly putty. I'm doing a lot of research to find someone who can patch it correctly. Then i'll worry about painting.

Your welcome. I don't see that color often and yours is in good shape so it's refreshing. If you really wanted to repaint it 2 tone, maybe it's current color and white could be considered. Really tho, it looks great as it currently sits.

All i need now is a $3 pre heater hose and i am DONE under the hood. Just cleaned up and painted the alternator gm gun metal machine delco remy gray. Vile said my alt and pre heater hose were ugly. He was right, so im doing something about it.

Soon i'll get a short video together of the new engine running.

This post should be on my "bad vibration" thread.
