Re: Best color or color combos for my '63?
IMHO baby blue and white are beautiful on these trucks, though I am a little biased, here are some pics of mine fresh from paint. This is the original blue from 66 and GM code 10 white.

Here's a few. The top two are 63s, and the bottom one is a 66.

Re: Best color or color combos for my '63?
wow i like them both alot. the blue and white looks classic and timeless but that orange looks great. Also a metalic copper would look cool with a black or silver metal flack top. if your going for a custem look. i also like red. or even a dark metalic green with a white top. or even a yelolow. wow you have alot of choices!!!!!

Re: Best color or color combos for my '63?
My '64 is tellow inside and out. Due for another paint job next year and it will be yellow again.
I had a '70 that was painted orange and it got alot of attention. I like the two-tone on a restored , stock truck but a street rod should have solid paint. just my .02 ( and that ain't much) |
