I love the original color of my 71 which is called Swissaqua. It dioes'nt look as good after the repaint as the color is'nt just right.
When dad bought it new it was the prettiest, most unusual truck around.
I could come out of a store with a huge parking lot, scan the lot once and my cab would be clearly visable. At night under the old incandesent lights it would just about glow.

I have a Maroon 72 that I really like the color of. I'm kinda color blind but it looks good to me.

I have yet to find my truck, but in my minds' eye I see clearly a deep blue, not quite Navy, possibly with a little metalflake involved. Of course the engine bay and interior are painted to match, that will be a bit of a chore but I can handle it! I was also thinking I would remove the factory badges (except F-O-R-D across the hood) and install the small blue Ford Ovals that you see on later model Fords (not trucks I don't think, or do they have them too?) in appropriate places. How do you think that would look, the ovals replacing the badges?
