Mines black and silver. My dad has a red and white. He wanted me to buy the same color as his, but I liked the other color, and had it repainted the same as it was when I bought it. Just got a dig camera to post pics with.

alright, I dont think there are any U-G-L-Y two tones, I bet if you separated the gold from the green with a dark lime stripe it would change the whole appearance. and the same with Blue/ gold needing a bright Medium blue . I went through this for years with the mid 80's Chevys i used to do having ugly tu-tones and i used to change the stripe colors for a better look. now THEY had ugly tu-tones that flat tan(non metallic)and white. Also the factory wheel/hubcap set up on the Dodges doesn't do anything for these trucks. even a set of cheap chrome wheels would make a HUGE difference.
I'm not really into brushed aluminum either but thats what is going on my truck for starters. I picked up TWO sets of these in 16x7.5 size for $300 and with some serious cleaning they look pretty decent. 8 lug stuff is not easy to find. crossy

No you don't. It's been hit four times and looks like crap. I'm hoping to do something about that soon.
Isn't the truck in the original pic brown and tan, not green and tan? Mine is brown and tan. Looked good when I bought it 8 years ago.

NorthWestMatt, thats a nice looking truck to say the least. I didnt see you addition to the thread. I like the Gray on Darker Gray. There has been one around here that I've been eyeballing for about 10 years.

Yes, it is brown and tan... my favorite color combo so far but after looking at many here i'm happy with all the colors. Hard to make a first gen look bad. even with dents.

Very nice truck and pic and license plate!

You know... something that I have noticed, is how nice the stock wheels and caps look. Buying other Alcoa wheels etc are really not necessary, (in my humble opinion) though I have them, they were there before I bought the truck. I have always liked how the stockers looked in the first generation trucks from 91-93. I believe that’s the only years they had this style.


Regards
Tom
