Need some help! Pictures of blue and white trucks

I can't decide which blue to use and what white combo. I think I have narrowed it down between 1972 Medium Blue and 1972 Dark Blue with a white roof and white stripe in the middle. Does any one have good pictures of both these blues with some white? I am going for a very restored look, so I want to used a 1972 correct color if possible.

Any pictures or thoughts would be most appreciated!!!

Re: Need some help! Pictures of blue and white trucks

Here's mine. The blue is not a GM color. It's custom mixed. GM has a similar dark blue but mine's not quite as dark. You can see a Chevy S-10 in the right hand corner. This blue is a little darker.

Re: Need some help! Pictures of blue and white trucks

I know you want to stay stock but I thought I would show you a nice color I once saw on a 72. It is called Cobalt Pearl Blue and if I could park in a garage daily, I would have my 68 painted this color.

Hawaiian (Medium) Blue / Frost White in the Western two tone combination is the way to go

This is the dark blue I think, but very faded. Check the SPID in the glove box and tell me what she says.

The 1972 medium blue is also known as hawaiian blue, the 1972 dark blue is mariner blue. I love 'em both.

Very classic look when the body stays stock but suspension gets litfed/lowered and nice wheels added. Very nice indeed.
