Can't decide yet. I quite like the dark grey metallic on the one above. It's a Toyota late model stock color. Looks really nice in person and makes the truck look "newer". I have always liked the stock tan color the most. Red is for Ferrari's. My brother loves his 71 40 in stock blue. Not too partial to the greens. From the beginning I have always planned on a canvas bed top, roll up sides etc. With the boxy body and a canvas topper it lends a very utility, almost military flavor to the truck. So the paint job will have to find that balance between cool expedition rig and full on military truck look. Here are a few photos off the intertnet for illistration of the look I like.

This one the truck is too green - a little too military

This TLC topper is nice in black but I don't like the truck in white.

This TLC topper is nice in grey but the truck is very light blue - not good IMO
