Original or color change ??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

All the original colors look just right. If someone doesn't like it you just say it's what came on the truck. It's when you go changing that you can go wrong. Not saying there are no good unoriginal colors,many look great. It all depends on the desired end result. If I change a color,on the type of trucks I like to do,I go with looks like it could have been used. I like a late-60s/early-70s truck to look like it's those times. My build from parts '67 GMC will have a non-original color (I think) but it will be a color that looks like someone could have painted it back then. It's a mild custom,so I kinda want it to look like someone changed the color
