I don't even have flat black spray paint in my shop ,Never will

**atog** · 07-13-2018, 01:51 PM

Oh my That’s gonna be a dandy truck no matter what color it is. I say black just to show off your talent.

**Grumpy old man** · 07-13-2018, 02:39 PM

They are smooth enough to paint any color .

1) 350 / Muncie M-22 rock crusher / 3.73 posi

2) 292 / 3 speed master shift / 3.73 posi

**1971Stepside** · 07-13-2018, 05:46 PM

You said it yourself....resale red. You plan to sell them? Everyone likes red. Black will show every blemish. The other two colors are awesome, but some won't like them. If you were keeping the trucks, I would pick something else.

**Already Gone** · 07-13-2018, 06:52 PM

Got these pics of a board members truck years ago. It just looks right to me.

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-13-2018, 08:25 PM

Wow, I can't believe the green has that many votes. I love it but to me every other truck was that color. That's why I voted yellow. It's kinda refreshing. .......

**Grumpy old man** · 07-13-2018, 11:49 PM

I had all the factory steel grille parts and light bezels chromed at Knox custom chrome for both of these trucks ,

Because of the leather color I choose BLACK. You say the body is straight enough, and a perfect black truck {DEEP & SHINEY} with a fine red pinstripe will bring the most money, IMHO. Now, If I was doing what you are doing but keeping a truck to drive daily... it would be blue and white or solid light green. I've owned a couple of black trucks and they just look dirty 5 min. after I wash them, probably because of my long gravel driveway. It's just to hard to keep it looking nice.

Don't go by that color of leather ,That's just some I've had for years under my bench waiting for the right project , I have accounts to buy anything I want , For those who don't know I bought a bunch of 67 short beds years ago when they were cheap as a retirement project to keep me busy and build some cool old school trucks and these are just 2 I'm working on .I have the time /tools/equipment/ability and space and a passel of builder trucks left to keep me going for years to come , I don't send anything out I build everything myself mechanics/suspension/paint and interior and source all my own parts and supplies ,Again it keeps me busy (and drives me crazy at times ) There are more to come I'm chasing parts now for trucks I won't touch for 2 years ...Here are a few pics from this last year . All I need now is more space and we're working on that now ...

If it was a dark Hunter metallic green I'd be a buyer but in this case it would be the yellow one in my garage. Buy the way I have picked Ford colours two out of three times without knowing it. There is something about their shading that appeals to me. Have a good one eh.

68is4me · 07-14-2018, 10:07 AM

That's the kind of pictures I was looking for. Very nice. Heck paint 1 of each color then you will have them all. Now if you could just find a good upholster guy.

Yellow = beautiful

**HO455** · 07-15-2018, 10:34 AM

Green is good! I do like green and white with the white grill on 67/8's. And if a 4x4 white bumpers too. I strayed from the stock 503 green with a close match in metallic (light green poly?). Although over the year and half since it was sprayed the color seems to have deepened (or darkened?). No matter I still am very happy with it. Second photo not mine but one of my favorites.

bill3rail · 07-15-2018, 03:46 PM

Green has been the leader all along. We only need to know when you buy the GREEN paint!

Who's truck is this lol
Black with Red looks rich

1972RedNeck · 07-15-2018, 04:47 PM

I voted for red, but I think these trucks look best in copper...

I have some of this under the bench ,Just not enough for a complete .

VWNate1 · 07-15-2018, 08:32 PM

I voted for RED but not that hideous light red with waaayyy too much yellow in it ! more like a fire truck red, deeper , more classic looking, maybe Chevrolet's own "Swifts Red" from the Advance Design series (I'm old too) .

My '69 C/10 is the stock dark green and I love it but for resale red does the trick best .

Nice to see you're keeping yourself busy and working hard .

**cliff67** · 07-15-2018, 09:04 PM

It looks like you can do one of every color, But I say Green / white I've had mine done for a little over a year and still love hearing people say they Love the color !!!! Good Luck with all of them I'm jealous for sure
