The marine project, as anyone would have guessed, took longer than first estimated. The 2 months turned into 4 from engine removal to reinstall. Then the problem started. Under the load of the higher HP upgrade and the much bigger prop to handle it, a head gasket blew.
At that point I put the 2 ton in storage to get room for the boat in the shop (34'boat and trailer in a 30' shop).
Long story short out of spec cylinder studs from a previous rebuild stretched and the crankcase cracked. Another month to find and procure a new crankcase. It will arrive this week then has to go out to be line bored to match the crank. Another complete engine build.

So, I'm working on individual parts from the truck until I bring it back into the shop.
That brings me to this question:

As you remember the cab and sheet metal has been painted Sport Beige inside and out. The frame, running gear and bed frame are chocolate brown. The inner fenders and filler pan in front of the radiator and cross members haven't been painted yet.
Asking for opinions. Paint everything that was chassis black, chocolate brown to match the original convention, or go with a fancier custom look and paint the outside of the inner fenders and pan brown and the insides Sport Beige as well as the braces in the engine compartment to match the firewall and hood?
This is a restoration/upgrade, not a historic restoration. As much of the original look is preserved but the custom leather interior, automatic trans, etc. do give it away.
