Can't seem to make up my mind. Long ways off, so just dreaming. I already have a dark blue truck as you can see. The color of the 69 is ford toupe if I remember what the po said.

GO orange and be bold!

I'm a sucker for Orange Trucks tho I could have said "Other" cause I like a Dark Olive Green on these Trucks too.

Seriously thinking orange. Any longbed orange trucks out there fellas?

Dare to be different, orange is all over the place. I like teal or something aqua.

Green!

I would shoot mine Orange if I wasn't going for the 50's rat rod look of flat black. Something about orange trucks with lots of chrome just look good. Orange is also an easy color to maintain.

Any bright color.

orange!!! House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl!!! I just priced it out for my truck $1500 for materials only. With a pearl coat your body work needs to be PERFECT though.

take it from me.. if you ever decide to sell. White, black, blue, green is going to be a lot easier to get gone. I've got a bright yellow and I think it turns quite a few people off..

I vote a nice Forest green.. maybe 2-tone with white. mmmm goood

If you want to sell, go with grey or silver. For some reason 75% of the cars that I see on the road today (including my taurus) is either grey or silver.

How about a medium charcoal/titanium gray. I think it would look good on these trucks. The dark green on the new Silverados also looks good.
