Hi, I like the two-tones on the older type trucks of the thirties. The contrasting colors of red with black or black with green look appealing. I've seen a few done in the 50's that looked nice but were not so contrasting in colors. An example is dark blue with black fenders and boards or a dark gray and a lighter shade of gray but not so contrasting. Again I like the darker blues and deeper teal colors with perhaps a pinstrip of straw or orange (single or double 1/8 th inch) over the length of the vehicle if painted a solid color. Do a Google search on your year truck and then hit images to view trucks like yours and what someother folks did, something there may appeal and or give you some ideas. The stainless steel vent screen ACHIPMUNK mentioned sounded like a great idea. Checked out some of the members vehicles here, there are some good looing two-tone vehicles.Just a note on the two tones; they are alot easier to do paint repairs with out the worry of matching an attaching panel,should the need persent itself in the form of stone chips or "God forbid", an accident. Just reshoot the four fenders to match in color or change the color for a new look.
