I've been agonizing over that, Dan. I'd planned for a long time to two tone it with silver on top and a medium to dark grey on the bottom. I used the original gold inserts as patterns for a real nice black/grey carbon fiber vinyl to go between the stainless. However, I haven't come up with a good way to do the break between the colors away from the trim. I'm not real fond of the factory scheme but for the life of me, can't come up with much better. If inspiration doesn't strike soon, it may wind up the same solid color as the 68 silver truck. The frame, suspension and engine are all done in various shades of silver and grey, so black, grey, silver and etc. are all possibilities.
