Very nice. Will that be the color of the truck or just an accent color for the wheels / trim?

Yes. The truck will be Omaha orange with black running boards and fenders. Chromed front grille.
The belt line around the cab is a bright blue - (can’t remember the name of that accent color).
The orange is somewhat unusual - not out of the ordinary, but I am really just a traditional color guy that likes the blues, tans, greens and reds. The Omaha orange is classic and represents that Art Deco style and time priod. Surprised I went that route but I like it.
I went back and forth about the wide whitewalls - or all black. In the end I decided that I can enjoy a pretty truck for once as all of my other trucks are dirt ugly and have a look that a only a mother can love. Some old girlfriends said that about me too...but that's another story.
Ps. Those are 4.5” x 16” original rims and the Coker 6.50x16” classic radial tires. A little pricey - but this truck will eventually be willed to my son, Hunter.
