Somebody said Two-Tone was old - I think it looks great on Ford Trucks especially if the Running Boards and the Bumpers are neutral Black.

Good looking truck and good timing for the photo. I have been struggling with my 52 paint (if I live long enough to get that far), two tone or not to two tone that is the question. At this point I am planning black fenders and running boards and red cab, same as you but maybe a different red. Yours looks very nice and original, did you have any struggles with this decision. What does everyone else think. I believe the 53-56 effies look better one solid colour but the bonus built truck are a differnet story.

I eventually want to end up two-tone green, with black boards, etc, but I want to get it on the road, so I'm going to quicky-paint the fenders, etc, black. I hope to end up something like yours, or the following:
This isn't mine - but mine should look very similar, except I plan to "weather" my black to make it looks as old as the maroon.
Nice colors!!!!

That looks really nice. The two tone, especially colors like those, looks sharp. It highlights the different segments of the truck which is something really not possible anymore.
I remember the first drive I took with my truck. No front clip or box but at least I had the cloudy cracked glass still in place. Sounds like your keeping the flathead? Good choice.
