Yeah I also like the white top as well but don't know if I want to do that much of a two-tone.

Now if you had a cowl induction hood and striped it then it would make sense.
If I did the grill white then I would also paint the tailgate letters white so it ties together, I have thought about doing the white top too but I'm scared of getting in over my head with a two-tone paint scheme being a rookie painter. Masking off the little area on the fenders to spray white would be easy but the roof just seems a little complicated because its a much larger area and the upper hoop of the doors would need to be sprayed as well.

Also, I vote for all red as well.
I don't mind the painting but the bodywork and sanding sucks, every time I'm doing it I just say to myself this sucks but your right when I finally finish this truck I'll be really proud that I did 100% of everything myself and didn't farm anything out to somebody to do for me

Believe me I love the all Red too but it seems like every 67-68 fleet I see is like that. Part of me would like to do something different from the crowd but in the end I'll probably just end up spraying it solid Red to keep it simple.
