I like the blue, only because I'm painting my truck a metallic blue. The orange and green definately would catch the eye though.

I usually like blue, but it just seems so overdone on the 70s trucks. I'd go for the green, or a different shade or quality blue: metallic, fading light to dark, something other than plain Bigfoot-ish blue.

They will probably come out slightly darker then in the picture.
I am leaning towards the blue or green. Since alot of the truck is black, a black paint would be overkill in my opinion, altho I like black on trucks..
EDIT: I do see alot of blue 70's Fords, thats one reason im leaning towards green more. I havnt seen many Fords that color green, and I like it.
I cant get too fancy with the paint, funds are limited. I can just do a one tone color.

I'm using a metallic blue and not the plain old blue. But, yes blue is over used on quite a number of vehicles.

Blue, but I've always been partial to it.

I'm partial to green myself...but if your not going to have any chrome on the body I'd have to say go with the red...that would be my choice.

I'm partial to the nasty burnt orange on my 79 bronco. Yup, even the stupid looking pinstriping was original

What you have there is called a Free Wheeling Bronco. Not many of those exist. They had the same striping tape you've got on your Bronco there.
