Great looking truck.
Could you get some pictures from under the hood and if possible the paint code.
Here is an under hood picture for you, I didn't get a paint code picture but as you can see it's been repainted and not the original color. It's darker like the same color used on the dash from the factory.

Re: First Old Truck
I'm planning on painting my wheels when I mount the new tires on them, but I'm not sure what color I want yet. I'm thinking a want a dark color maybe like a maroon of navy blue.

What do you guys think? I could use some good ideas.

Re: First Old Truck
The tires I have are raised white letter on one side so I think I'll take them to a tire shop and have them grind the tires down into white walls

Looks like a good start to me! Perhaps I'll see you tooling around Kansas City with it at some point.

Re: First Old Truck
Had some guys on another forum photoshop some pics for me, and I decided I love this color combo so tomorrow I'm blasting my wheels and painting them orange.

Re: First Old Truck
Nice truck. I think the orange wheels look killer. If you keep the patina just be be ready to hear "so what color ya' gonna paint it?". You may occasionally get someone suggesting you leave it as is, too
