allright,i just bought her,i was thinking of leaving it baby blue,it allready has a louvered hood,its going to be lowered with my 16 inch steel wheels and wide whites,,,what color would look best with baby blue?,dark blue?red?,baby moons,spider caps? or no caps?
Black would look very nice with that blue interior. As far as wheels, a nice red and some baby moons, or have the wheels chromed. That's what I would do.
Two-tone it with white. Wide whitewalls were a thing of the past when that truck was new. Narrow (1 1/4" or so) would be more appropriate, or blackwalls. Baby moons with trim rings. If you can't afford chrome wheels, paint 'em black. Do not paint your wheels red.
paint it a factory color from around then, with chrome baby moons. put on a chrome rear bumper, polish up the trim after you paint it. that's a truck from when trucks where trucks. was it a Florida truck it's whole life?
Keep the wide whites(clean them up a little)paint the wheels a darker blue similar to the interior and then see if you can find some nice chrome Ford dog dish caps.love the truck by the way
I would paint the wheels baby blue with chrome caps and bands. I love those early / mid 60's Ford trucks.
its from southern california up until 2 years ago,then it sat across the street from the ocean in patricks air force base,hence what little rust it has,,,
I came up with a couple of photoshop jobs on your truck. I like the two-tone, and I think the light cream/off white will compliment whatever hue of blue you might choose (or any other color).
my $.02, just leave it the way it is and throw on the the WWs, spend your money in correctly lowering it, stance will trumph baby moons and spider caps (leave em for the shiny leadsleds, not long bed work trucks)
