That last one looks just right! I also like when they use natural wood rails with stain and/or clearcoat. (But that probably makes for a more expensive wood and less 'work' truck.)
Solid green looked ok. The red would look great if you were towing a float in a Christmas parade.

The red bed side makes it look like it should work on a Christmas tree farm.

The black bed doesn't look bad.

So... If the bed is green, green floor boards. And if the bed is black then black floor boards?

Have you thought about a slightly darker green for the side boards? Offers a little more contrast.

I think the black looks best. I would make the floor boards green as well. Or natural wood.

Natural wood is not what Henry ever intended for his trucks and Abe cares about how Henry felt about things. Just ask him about the various shades of white that were used for grill colors over the years. I have a natural wood cedar deck and dock and maintainance is a pain. They starts turning gray if something isn't done to them every year.

Photoshop master bob at it again!
Personally, not sure if the wood would look better a little darker?



Did someone say Christmas trees?

I like the sign, Bob!

That Meadow Green 54 F600 has been on eBay for over a year. They've tried auctions, Buy it Now.... no buyers. I think they spent too much to restore it , not realizing that bigger trucks don't bring what restored F100s bring.

The darker bedsides do look better to me.

Nice photoshop skills on these two.

Here are the racks on the truck the day I bought it. Big Heavy rough cut oak boards. Some measured a full 14"! And check out the wooden tailgate.

Avf100, sorry to highjack your thread! I hope you got the answer you were looking for. I say black rims with dog dish hubcaps. They could be the FORD hubcaps. And instead of the FORD letters being blue like in 48-50 or red like in 51-56 paint the black.

Here's a place on ebay selling the vinyl stick on letters:

Bob,
Could you show me a picture with the board racks with only 3 boards with boards and stakes painted green?
