The truck in this photo was up for auction on ebay at least 5 years ago. I saved the picture because it showed my favorite color combo, and made me shudder in awe looking at the awesome truck. If I had the choice I would have this two-tone brown light brown color. I just love it! But never see this type, must be rare. The only other truck that I saw in person with this color combo was my friends truck that I worked for in 92, who owned a brand new Dodge and we’d pull a helicopter on a trailer around California doing lift jobs. His name was Dennis. At any rate, that was when I became infatuated with the first gens and the Cummins, and still am to this day. Has any of you ever seen a 4x4 like this one w/out the lift pulling a helicopter in California or Oregon? Not only was the helo used for lifting ac’s on top of new buildings, but also for harvesting Christmas Trees.

I am a fan of the classic red/white two tone. my ctd is chrysler's "champagne metallic", a tan color, which i also find very nice

My favorite is Black, I'm surprised how few I see. Most of mine have had the no cost option 2 tone basecoat/peeling paint and rust....

I've seen some white 4x4 x cabs and WOW, it looked beautiful. I'm the sure the paint wasn't stock, but it was really good looking. I like the look of black, too.

I'm stuck with the goldishbrown/red two tone paint .

I don’t see many black first gens... seems like I see allot of solid white, red, and blue... but even the two tone are hard to find, but like the looks... The two-tone silver light blue is nice as well. It takes allot to make a first gen ugly. Rust only adds to some of its character.

Fortunately for me, I have a fairly fresh new coat of paint that the previous owner supplied before I bought it. But would prefer the two-tone brown/light brown over the solid white.

Hmmmm.. sounds nice actually... Have a pic?

I like the two tone silver and light blue.

I wish my truck had good paint all around. The hood and roof are toast, I just put a similar matching color with a rattle can on til I'll have time to repaint. I'll be going with a solid color . Even though I may complain about bad hood/roof, the trim and rest of the body is in decent shape, easily better than all the other first gen trucks around here!

I'll try and get some tomorrow. Have to wash the bird poop off first!

Don't want to hijack the thread, but why don't some members post up pics of their trucks or trucks with their fav color?

Soon I shall be painting my truck. It had the two tone silver and darker silver. Now it is that plus some red doors

I am considering flat black, or gloss black, just not sure. I know my truck would look sweet (IMO) in black. It does not get hot enough around these parts where a black truck would bake bad, though I do travel a bit in my truck, so I may not go with black. Had a friend try to tell me to go with drab green, and he has a vehicle painted in that, and I think it would look odd but ok on my truck.

Anyhow, I dont think I will be trying to do another two tone thing. Any other ideas on colors guys?

Mine is dark blue, which I like, but if I had it my way I'd definitely pick that dark green/tan combo, that looks sharp.
