Well, grey interior ehh? hmmm... unless the current line really needs to be covered, you could always use a stripe of one of the current colors making it look like a double stripe like silver/green(pinstripe)/silver(pinstripe)/green (personally I lean towards putting a silver stripe below the green & silver line to make it seem just a tad lower)

If you want a single stripe to cover the line, I would think a red might look good, but it would have to be a red that avoids the Xmas look

Ohh how about an off the wall color such as in the gold or purple shades

no matter what, it looks great man!

Truck looks sweet is that a regular dually rear or is it a cab and chassis rear it looks a little narrow but it might just be me.

Bill i have noticed that it looks a mite skinny, i used my stock rear and fabricated some billit steel (stressprof) 2 inch spacers, so 4in total, i was thinking a dually rear was 4in wider that a W250 D70 if i'm wrong please advise, i have a ton of room between spring and tire and between the tires.


Cow thanks i love that color also, i thought i mite as well paint a color i like.

i really like green/tan the best but i didn't want to change my int. (yes it's gray)

i think i will need to experement with colors on the strip, and your coment about the red strip and christmas thing is about the 10th i have heard today so i probly won't use red.

Awesome looking rig. Color is great. I have a pair of front dually hubs off a '93 4x4 if you need 'em.

Looks great. Some dually hubs up front, some side trim and some emblems and you'll be a factory dually
