I think no moldings , Patriot Blue , and all blacked out would look good.

Here is the best color combo IMO. My 91.0 D250 was this same color scheme. Some day when I have money my new-to-me D350 will look like this.

If I was gonna do my 2nd Gen. it'd be the new Dodge met. orange color for the Nitro's. If I had another 1st. Gen style.. Probably a dark metallic green with silver on the bottom.

I like the green/tan and red/silver two tones I think there is to much truck there for a single colour(btw I could tell you were canadian from the title) on the extended cab, it look like you have on of those too.

Now that is a thing of beauty. I wonder if I can convince the wife to let me sell my D350 and get one that looks exactly like that. Hmmmmm.

i have to agree with this! i just bought my first cummins and this is the paint scheme. i also think changing the silver to grey and black to a deep navy blue would look awsome too!

Back in the day I had a '96 Chevy Z71 that had the same paint scheme; forest green top and bottom with the beige in the middle. Man I loved that truck and that paint scheme.

Arch, nice rig! Mine, is almost identical to yours in looks with the toolbox and all, except for my colors are reversed. When I get some extra cash, Off to the body/paint shop it goes for the same colors I have on. I happen to like the trim schemes on our trucks. It keeps the classic look of a 1st gen. I don't know why one would try and modernize the looks of a 1st gen. Oh well. Toeach their own. by the way, I like the look of the black rims. Out of curiousity, is it possible to have mine permanently blackened? Also, what ride height is yours, Arch, and what size tires are you runnin'?
