that truck is f**king awesome. sorry about the language but the word awesome doesnt do it justice with out a bit of shock value in front of it.

looks like a little lighter or fresher than F3 green a.k.a "fiesta green" (1972)..or "light green" (1970)

yes ...thanks for this thread ...i never used to pay attention to trucks but i can see i am missing out ....this thread is awesome eye candy and interesting read........im sure whatever color you pick will look nice if done properly.
maybe you should try different paint suppliers ......so far that silver price seems a bit out there.

I luv the orange but orange and yellow are usually the sam price range as red. Expensive. Have you looked into PPG's economy line of paint ? Omni is the brand.

i like the silver also!! have you looked at the summit racing paints i think they are around $80 a gallon. but if i had to choose one of your choices i would pick the orange. i love the macho power wagons i had a red 79 and always wanted a silver one.

I like the silver, but the orange would be my second pick. There's no real subtlety with those trucks, so you might as well go full-on...

It is a 1976. The paint was cheaper than Red. And the valve covers were custom made Aluminum.

I voted orange, but given a choice, I'd go with silver.

i really like the silver, and adding custom touches is wat i really like, and im gonna grab some spray paint and try it on some old fenders i have and see wat i like best, i only wanna paint it once and it wont be a real resto paint job cause im clear coating mine. i know the valve covers are custom aluminum but where did you get them or are they just full custom from top to bottom? and yes rani these trucks are real eye candy and worth quite a bit of coin when done properlly, i estimate that with mine it should be a 6 or 7k truck when done

I voted the yellow and go with the black bottom to offset. Like in picture #10
