Wait just one cotton pickin' minute here!

You mean to tell me that Ol' Jethro here would not be noticed within a group of other colored vehicles?
Somebody would have to have rocks in their head not to notice my truck, even in dense fog a blind person could sense Jethro's "Gumby Green" complexion!
Gag me with a hang glider!

I was about to post a pic of that pink truck on ebay. :lol: I will not state my opinion on that truck for fear that the owner will somehow see thread and read it. Red may be the most noticable, because my dad said he got the most tickets in a red car. I am glad that green is supposed to be the least noticable, because we have 2 green trucks.

I think meadowlark yellow was the most noticiable today when I lost control on the ice and did about 2 360's and then skidded through 2 lawns and across the side road that divided them :dk:

I think the correct color is the original color of the truck 99% of the time. Red would be my last choice, unless that was the original color, and I would never paint a non-red truck red. Just like other Fords of this era, the multiple color choices is what makes them all special. I'm just not big on red. Blue is the first choice. :)

Scott - I only smoke when I'm on fire...

John - I still say that Lunar (Gumby) green is got to be the definitive color of the 60's.

Yes I am on prescribed medication and Yes on occasion I due miss taking a pill or two.
On the other hand I try and make up for it by taking extra one's (mainly Vicodin) the next time...Like right now! :P
