Re: Easy Greasy - Rescuing a Silverado from Tweakers.

I think the all-over tan suits the look with that canopy better than it would with the red. But if you ever decide to go without the canopy, my vote is that it's really tough to beat that red / tan combination. The tan can look a little flesh-tone in the right (wrong, haha) light - I have a Suburban with it, acres of that color. But the red bends it more toward yellow when it is present. Just my .02 and I'm a fan of original paint schemes - especially when they are as cool as that.

That second truck is cool too! Looks like it's totally worth getting back on the road, and it's primed for a little bit of care and attention. You are going to become known as a squarebody rescuer, considering where you started with your first truck. I've encountered needles in a parts car at the pick-n-pull. Scary while you're trying to pull parts, and then just sad when you think about it.
