I guess that was redsuperduty's truck, I wish these guy's would put their names in the sig

 

Here is my blue 78 my dads green 78 and our red 79

 

I never get tired of looking at your trucks, Gus

 

Now that an awesome trio!

 

I don't know what I would do if I walked out the door every morning and had to pick between which one of those trucks to drive. I hope to figure that out one day. Sweet rides man.

 

Holy mud flaps!

 

Quote: Where did you get the rocker moldings for that truck?

 

I like the paintjob on my grandfathers truck, it is white with a red stripe down the dent. along with very thin red and light blue stripes above and below the dent.

 

Yeah i didn't really care for the big mudflaps either but it saves the paint.

 

I had bought it at LMC Truck but JCWhitney also sells it.

 

Thank you I would like to see more pics of yours.

They are fun to drive also but not one of them gets over 11mpg

Thats a good thought i always just went for my blue 78 but i drive the red 79 once and a while. My dads green 78 is pretty much his baby and is all setup for pulling a camper during the summer.

 

MPG doesn't mean anything when you look that bad a** going down the road! I'm pushin about 7 in the city and N/A high way! Haha still love them!

 

yeah i've never gotten over 8 with mine. thank god i never drive it far haha

 

Thats very very true I Like hearing those flowmaster mufflers.


I might get 9mpg highway with my blue 78 thats good for having a built 460 and a 750cfm holly hp series double pumper.

 

Great looking trucks gus. Wish mine are in that condition.

As for paint, I personally like the blue that my '78 is, not sure what the paint color code is. Its all oxidized and doesn't shine anymore, but still looks good. Its a baby blue


If you are going to be doing a 2 tone, then I would suggest if follows the trim. So if you have a truck with trim (i.e a ranger lariat), then the 2 tone should be a main color, then a insert color, like this.


I am a big fan of the 50's style cream color, so when I paint my 79 (The one pictured), I will most likely be using a cream w/red inserts. Other combos that I think would look good is black w/cream, cream w/blue, cherry red w/blue, white w/sliver, or just solid white

Thats just my 2 cents
