ohwell Do they make a cd that allows you to show your truck and allows you to change the colors. Somthing that will let a person try different color ideas befor deciding if that will look rthe way you think it will look.DONNA

Not that I know of but you can find someone with photoshop and after some quick setup they can do it pretty easily. Once I narrowed it down I built a model kit and bought the actual paint I picked and painted it. Gave me that extra boost of confidence I had it right.

donnal,

Welcome to Stovebolt.com. I live just down the river from you.

About 12 years ago, I found a very helpful website that did just what you are asking for. You requested a color and it changed the color of a 1947-53 1/2 ton Chevrolet pickup (side view). You could also request different colors for fenders and body (but, no two-tone top & bottom). I cannot find the bookmark (and, most likely that website is gone, anyway).

I used photoshop to do what you are talking about. Cab one color, fenders/runningboards different color. If you have no luck finding a program, I can do it for you-in my sparetime smile
... not much of that these days. All I need to know is year and 3 or 5 window and colors your wanting to try.

Donna, I'm not sure if this helps but here's a link to a tyre and wheel site,as you can see it has a 'visualizer.'
You can pick your truck,play with colours and wheel combos,you can even lower it to suit your own requirements.
This might be similar to what Tim(tclederman) was referring to.
Visualizer.
