I've got to agree with GFB black is sexy esp blacked out. But if i could have found one I would have got one of the desert copper colered 2gens. Think it was only offered on 01and 02 trucks. Can't remember the paint code but I'm sure someone has a pic of one around here. If your wanting different thats the color I would go with.

Yeah I like that color also. Decisions, Decisions. The check is here & my brothers wifes CRV went in the shop first [shes a whiner] It actually works out better this way because sled season is here & my first pull is July 28th. I'm just gonna get the paint on mid-late August, this way I don't scuff it pulling. Also gives me more time to decide on a color.

Well, sled season is over for me...unless you guys know of another pull. LOL Today I went to the local Dodge guy & bought a perfect RH rear door. I'm still searching for a LH front in perfect shape. My hood is here & I am almost ready to go. Finding good clean parts is taking time.

I might be going crazy, but I am thinking of painting my truck burnt orange. I've always liked that color & never seen it on a 2nd gen Dodge. A local guy has the charcoal grey & another has the silver. I want to be different. What you guys think about a burnt orange color? Got any pics to help with color choice?

And you couldn't snap me a photo? I have never seen a 2nd gen in that color, one third gen.

The color I saw was similar to the GM burnt orange on HD pickups.

I think Silver is definately out of the question, saw 4 of them just today. I'm between burnt orange & this.
