67-68 grille hoop, headlight bezels and bumper COLOR IDEAS!!

Hey guys, I'm thinking about doing something a little different with the colors of my grille hoops, bezels and the bumper. I'm thinking about black but I'd like to see different colors other than original chrome, white or that silver. Post up what ya got! Thanks

I think black would look good but think a charcoal metallic would look great

New wheels colors like anthracite, grey or bronze would work. Copper may work too. All this would depend on what the rest of the truck looked like.

I was thinking about maybe painting it all a saddle color and doing the interior saddle with the dark blue body color. I thought that would be different and look cool

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

I have some old headlight bezels I think I may paint them saddle color and see how it looks against my blue.
