I've been studying this since you posted it. I like it both ways an can't really decide which one would be "better"

I understand your indecision an hope mine helps out in some way :lol:
Exactly! :rofl: I'm leaning toward the light blue but I like them both! Wonder if a set of K5 windows would fit in this top :hmm:

Light blue. The dark blue looks good but the light blue will flow better. Good luck man!

By the sounds of it, you just need to find a matching K5 so your truck can have a companion :)

I like the dark top.
With perhaps a light blue pinstripe just above the bottom of the canopy to tie it further into the trucks paint.
Like 1 or 2 inches up on the canopy a set of pinstripes similar to what outlines the two tone paint on the side of the truck.

I like the direction that's heading, this might be the answer.

I struggled with the color when I painted mine. White would have been the original color for mine at the time. The original color for the time might have also been black. IMHO, I think black would look best on your truck, but what do i know, you asked!
