Anyone of you have pics or some info about the Gladiators that came originally with body painted in two colours?

And how should supposedly be painted the dash? What are the correct combinations, according how they came from factory?

I want to paint mine in light blue, and I want to know about the possible combinations, because it seems to me a good idea to paint it in two colours..

Daniel,
Most of the years a two tone paint was offered it was white (usually Champagne White) above the chrome strip on the sides and a solid color below. 74,76,77,78(and probably other years) were an exception where the color was on top and the white below the strip. Over the years about 15+ different colors where used along with the white. I don't think any of the small grilled(Rhino) trucks ever came in two tones but I could be wrong there. I can email you two pics of the wide grill trucks, one with the color on top and one with the color on the bottom. They won't be the colors you're looking for but you can compare and see which scheme you like.

Thanks Joe.
Here, in Argentina, the rhino truck came too with two colours. The argentinian parts manuals says that it was available in two colours, but it says nothing about the scheme.
I have a picture of what it seem american Gladiator with two colours scheme (white and ligth blue).White on the roof, and ligth blue on the low.
I can email you the picture.

Thanks
