Well, that depends a lot upon personal taste. The 80-86 trucks had some "interesting" paint schemes. I've got a flareside but never did care for the factory paint jobs with the different colored panels and stripes to set them off. I still haven't decided what I want to do with mine when I get it finished. (They're never really done.)

Take some time to look through the gallerys. You'll probably get some good ideas from that.
