Keep the blue but ditch the "bordello red" interior! I HATE the red they used on these years for the interior.

I voted blue. I love the color. Not the cheapest option ever but I'm redoing my truck after an accident over a year ago (barely seems like it since I have no money...), and the body guy that's doing this for me did a factory color Ford blue, mixed with some pearl and metal flake as color and clear and it looks absolutely beautiful.

Not a very good picture, but it's all I've got (camera phone).

Since you changed the interior, you have to go with White or Black or Silver or Red and all except Black is not one of your options. The Flame job would look better on the Black too!

i am with this thoughts , being you went red interior. black or white are you only options. i personally love the blue, but its all messed up now with red guts!

Dude, your truck is beautiful!!!! I want it! I give her a 10 out of 10!

Keep it the original color.

It will be cheaper because
You dont have to paint the door jams, inside bed, engine compartment, or back of cab/front of bed(which will double the cost of a paint job)
