I've never seen one other than silver that looked good. I've seen red and black colored ones, and did not like either. Both made for a cheap and funky look IMO. That's just my opinion though, other people may like them like that.

Here ya go Bill. This is an old pic of my 72 with the egg crate grill painted the same color as the truck. Come to think of it, everything was painted the same color as the truck, even the windshield rubber

I couldn't pull the truck out of the garage, so there wasn't much room to take the pic. I like the factory silver, but I think it looks good black, as well.
