Ivan-
I gave it another shot. I don't know why the browns are turning green in the previous posts. I should have checked them more closely. I've tried a different technique to get the color of the brown interior. I, also, posted a few different types of brown. Hopefully, the pics comes across as:
1st pic: A shade of Interior brown
2nd pic: Brown
3rd pic: Dark Brown
4th pic: Saddle Brown

BTW, a couple of the pics have some washout on the color on top of the cab.

Hoe about a pic with a 'black' middle and roof ???
Here's a sloppy chop with a black belt and roof. It's late and the technique does not lend itself well to Black. But, maybe, you get the just of the color scheme ... Looks like the color of the pinstripping would have to change.

I guess I got in a little late on this. Welcome to the forum. I fixed your other page so the pics were more user friendly...

The white, black, and tan all look pretty good. I would ditch the stripe tape, though. That is a very sharp truck, Gary.

Re: New Pictures 1975 GMC Rookie

I like parts of all the ideas, although I also like the 'sleeper concept ',
since too many trucks have gotten away from the concept of a 'truck'.
these are two of my favorites so far though,..

nothing wrong with 'understated elegance'. clean truck, right on wheels, stance & color combo.....
just my two pecos..
