Looks like a great truck. A little body work and she'll be even better. I sure like the blue and white color scheme.

A quality maroon/cream combo would look good, but I would personally stick with blue. To give you an idea of what it would look like, here's mine, the paint is really bad (previous owner ran it over the border for one of those cheap jobs) but fortunately the pic makes it look better than it is. Your truck is really nice!

Nice looking truck, its nice when you can start going thru a truck that's already in good condition saves a lot of time and trouble.

i agree, if you vary much from factory and it isn't a all out custom, it doesn't look right IMO, but it is your truck,

Mine is the white and blue combo also. I like it best. Although mine is a funky color of blue.

I'm partial to the white top with solid bottom; I'm going with red due to having a BEAUTIFUL red and black houndstooth seat already that I'd like to use. If I had no red seat, I'd go with blue too. Looks great.
