    bought a Chief - going to restore it. what color?

    well... here it is... what color would you guys go? going for a full frame-off resto, of course. I'm thinking of going RED again with the black stripes like my fathers... good or bad?



    got stuff to do again...

    I'd leave it the factory colors. Black and gold is cool!

      If you are "restoring" it, you should go with the factory colors

            1985 J10 nothing special just a nice clean stock truck.

                I can't stand those guys who can't make their own minds.

                I'm fan of the stock color but love a nice bright blue.

                    Anything but RED, it looks good, but It's been overdone. Good Luck

                              Restoration ? ?

                              THAT needs restoration ?

                              I like the color it has. Get the buffer out and call it good.
