Hello Group, Retired FF here and old guy as well. I am just about to pull the trigger on an 81 swb, this will be my wife's truck and a memorial to her youngest son. It will need paint and Its already done inside in red so the outside will be red and???. She likes the red/white and the red/black two-tone.
If you would be so kind to post pics of your two-tone rides that would be awesome.
Also where besides, LMC, Classic Industries, are good suppliers for parts and accessories?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Welcome! I don't have a red two-tone, but here is a good site for getting parts.

I look and use everywhere for parts. Can be frustrating. Use the search when your about to start something. :welcome:
