Calling all Yellow trucks

I've been trying to pick the color for the '67 stockish stepper and I'm leaning towards this 1958 corvette yellow ? I like the clean old school contrast with the white ? what do you think post some pics of your yellow trucks ...

Re: Calling all Yellow trucks

Not a pickup but it is pale yellow. Sorry for the pic on the trailer but this is the only pic I have of it where it is somewhat clean.

The Yellow on my '70 is a lot lighter than that. It will be Yellow/India Ivory/Yellow on the outside with a Red interior. I don't know if I will like it or not but I'm going to do it anyway......

This has been the longest project I have ever started.(2008)

Here are a couple of links to Yellow truck threads:

Re: Calling all Yellow trucks

The other end of the spectrum, not exactly subtle. GMC 312, apparently from 1936 (at least that's what the nason paint label states).

I have a red interior for my '67 GMC and considered the light yellow. The rims are powdercoated red also. I may do another unlikely combo with it or go all red.

Re: Calling all Yellow trucks

You didn't specify as to whether you only wanted factory GM colours. So I'll throw up my 68'. 2000 vw light yellow.
