After all these years (since 1992) I have finnaly started some serious work on my 53. For years I have pictured this truck in my head and I keep tossing color choices around. So I thought I'd ask you guys for your opinion. Truck will be somewhat streetrodded. First choice, citrus pearl, inside paint white to match the grille and the seats brown or tan. second choice, citrus pearl all over with brown or black interior. Third choice prowler red with black or brown interior. Open to opinions! Thanks Termite53

Ah, the million dollar question! It simply comes down to, what combination do YOU like best? Opinions are just that, opinions. Some will agree with you, some won't. When it's finished, you are the one has to look at it, clean it, and drive it. You are the one that has to be the happiest with it. (I kinda like the Citrus Pearl all over with brown interior.) Just MY opinion! Good
Luck and Enjoy!!!!!!

I think that Cape Maroon color is pretty darn sharp! With some cream colored wheels (or maybe black) and a brown interior maybe? Whatever you choose, be sure to post some pix!

One of the most diffcult questions I had when doing my truck was the paint colour - followed closely by wheels & interior. Pick what you like best.
