It going to be my 5th wheel puller and will still be able to pull semi size trailers. White maybe no red maybe no also . I want a color that looks good with chrome and aluminum. Right now its yellow with black fenders. MY C70 youtube vid of my truck | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | What color was it originally. I like the all steel (front clip) trucks like this. Nice one. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,989 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,989 | I'd keep the black fenders for sure. As far as the rest, almost anything would look good, in my opinion--red or white...even a lighter shade of yellow. How about dark blue, with the black fenders? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 24 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 24 | it was the yellow in the photo with the black fenders.
I was leaning toward the blue and black.
I so far made a bracket to put on a 359 peterbuilt bumper on to replace my bent up bumper.
Next after the body work is the rear section from a newer single drive with air ride and 3.38? gears I will just cut it off from a donor truck and weld it to mine. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 403 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 403 | How about a Orange color as that would go with the Black fenders. May be split up the cab into a tu tone Black top and Orange middle. Just a thought!

I'd do the fenders in a soft or dull black and clear coat the rest of it for shine. Some polished Alcoa wheels and your lookin' good. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 50 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 50 | Deep Metallic blue with phantom flames! That woulk look awsome.

Today spend steam cleaning the motor and frame.
I learned something today DON'T use paint thinner to clean your face. I would say it feels the same as if I put gas on my face and light it on fire. 4 hours latter and it still burns.
