I picked up an older set of American racing 5 spke aluminum mags that should wake it up a little. I even thought about painting the rims the tan metallic like the center color??????.
kinda hard to picture mine looking as decent as your picture though in it's present condition isn't it.LOL

My buddy has a ext cab longbed 1st gen 4x4 with white on the top, and a silver stip on the bottom. It has been repainted. Pretty good looking truck In my opinion.

Colesd... I have the same truck, was looking for a 2nd gen. and stumbled across this one sitting in a garage barely used. The owner had some remorse after selling it to me. Said he'd like to buy it back if I ever decide to sell her

I like the 2 tone white and silver with the red stripe. That is the color combo that made me fall in love with the first gens. I was againist anything with the tan/gold. My truck I almost didn't go look at because of the tan/green two tone. From the moment I saw it grew on my and it looks better everyday. Red and white is also awesome as well.

I like the Maroon (technically copper metalic). I have only seen 4 truck ever, including the internet, this color.

The next in line though would have to be the 2-tone green/gold.

If I lived next door to you I'd have to constantly repeat in my heart
"I shall not covet thy neighbors truck"

You possess my most prized paint style, and your truck looks awesome.

Thanks for posting the pics! A+

Add me to the green and tan club. I think that is the best color scheme Dodge did on these trucks. I like all the 2 tone schemes except the ones with white in the middle, that looks weird to me somehow.
