I'm Needing Some Help Square Body Family - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

smupreacher · 08-26-2010, 01:57 AM

I have a 1987 SWB and I am needing to choose a color to paint her. I am stuck between white, black and hugger orange. The interior will be black. Any ideas??? Thanks...

DBLSPRT68 · 08-26-2010, 05:03 AM

Here is my take on those choices.... White: if you like to blend in and not be noticed. Black: if you like to be noticed and for people to look at your truck. Hugger Orange: If you want people to see you coming from a mile away, and do double takes as you go by!!! My choice would be Black or Hugger Orange! Btw, my truck is Black and my project extended cab is going to be Black

Is your truck lowered? What type wheels? Are you going for a stock or custom look?

I love helping other people pick paint colors, doesn't cost me any money! LOL.

*nbpro* · 08-26-2010, 06:19 AM

any pics ???

camshaftgsxr · 08-26-2010, 08:38 AM

you could go with a combo of hugger orange and black?

smupreacher · 08-26-2010, 03:35 PM

Thanks guys!!! My truck is lowered a little bit, well I have placed a pic here. I can see her either in black or hugger orange. I am just not sure. Will the hugger orange be to loud???

thirdstreettito · 08-26-2010, 03:54 PM

2-tone is also good!

Good ideas here!

Also, look through the shortbed pic thread.

RandyP · 08-26-2010, 04:02 PM

Orange or yellow and never look back.

I'm a huge fan of the hugger orange though, huge huge huge fan. In the texas heat, you really don't want a black truck do you?

smupreacher · 08-26-2010, 04:23 PM

True, the heat down here makes me wonder about black. I like the idea of being a little different with my truck but without doing something silly to it.

BigRed76 · 08-26-2010, 06:10 PM

Out of those 3 colors my vote goes to the hugger orange

WigglesTheHoly · 08-26-2010, 08:41 PM

I love the hugger orange with white factory stripe down the sides.

crewcabin · 08-26-2010, 08:54 PM

Go with your black idea. And ad grey to the middle for that awsome two tone look. but know matter what it will be a head turner.

**N2TRUX** · 08-26-2010, 08:57 PM

Black never goes out of style...

smupreacher · 08-26-2010, 10:44 PM

Thanks guys!!!! I know I can't go wrong with black. I haven't seen many square bodies here in black, but I have not seen one in hugger orange. I am thinking that the hugger orange would bring even more "old school" to it. I may even take the Super 44's off of it and put on some Cherry Bombs. (I may be getting ahead of myself...)

*nbpro* · 08-26-2010, 10:59 PM

some pics of orange trucks not a lot of square bodys tho
