I want to say a few things:

1) Big huge props to you for leaving the emblems on, the chrome trim and the blinkers. Honestly, people are too shave-happy these days and I think your truck really looks badass with all the identifiers on it.

2) I wouldn't paint it, but if you do, I'd stick with 2-tone and chrome trim. You just don't see it as much and it really compliments the lines of the truck. I never see 67-68 trucks with chrome trim, i don't think it was a typical factory option (i'm basing this on another recent thread).

3) I've got a green truck right now (see sig for my gallery). I think I'm going to eventually go with the same general color, but with a metalflake. I really dig the color that's on it now. It's funny to hear about another person who wants to go green, most people are like, "ew" and stuff.

I think the current paint job is mint. I wouldn't touch it. But I guess we all have standards. Go with what you feel.
