Re: White roof or not?
I would say it rather depends on what color the body is. With the green body I have always preferred the white roof but on a black truck I like all black.
It still goes back to "does the color combo fit the total build theme of the truck. Two tone trucks with the white roofs usually look better with a "restored" vibe than going street beast with that combo to me. The black with white roof never has worked for me for some reason. A super shiny all black truck of any year always seems to spin my wheels even though I have never owned one and probably never will.

Re: White roof or not?
I've asked some of my family members and for some reason they can't seem to remember it.It would look good with White, but I'd like it to be all original

Re: White roof or not?
More face book, I'd fix the windshield frame before painting it

Re: White roof or not?
The link in my signature takes you to a 56 truck page. Scroll down and click year index. Find you truck year and click on the table of contents. click on color exterior and you will get to the pages that list the colors, single and two tone. Save the link and look thru the book, lots of good information there.
