This is kinda what I had in mind.

Not sure which looks better. What do you guys think?
 
Camo looks cool on some trucks, and I think it'd look good on yours.

I agree and I like your pattern too. Best part about camo = easy touch up /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
I like the flat green look but the camo would look cool. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
You must be a proud chevyman cause thats alot of bowties you have on the front there. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
What kind of rack is on your roof? /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
Truck looks awesome /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
I guess I'm leaning toward the camo. Flat green, looks like something is missing. I built the roof rack. I used 7/8" OD tubing. I had a source for tubes that were bent to 90* so all I had to do was put it together.

Not sure what the end pattern would really look like except it would be something like that.
 
I agree w/ Tim, all my recovery rigs in the service were camo, but I painted the grills, rims, mirrors flat black and they looked a lot better.
 
The camo job looks great. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif I like your custom grill also, that looks awesome. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
camo it

I always thought it would be cool to camo from the body line down and leave the top OD... kinda like 2-tone camo

I'm not sure about the grill though, but i can appreciate the effort it must have taken to build it, it does look good!
 
For my part I would camo the whole thing even the grill cept the wheels. I'd do them in flat black. That scheme looks pretty damn cool! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif Good luck to y'all.

I think the Camo adds something to it. What about doing FLAMES in the other colors? Or if you kept it green, you could stencil some numbers on it to look Military Issue. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gifI like the idea of flame camo also /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
I have a 1986 M1009 Military Blazer that is camo OD green, Brown, Tan and Black. If you want to check it out sometime, PM me back.
 
I'll have to draw up some flames on there and see what that looks like. Never even thought about it.

Klink k5, there is a guy up here that buys all kinds of them things. Thanks for the offer though.

What about a big white star on the doors. Make it look all official like. /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
 
Was going to suggest a Star. Didn't know if it would be too much. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
/forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif I've thought about doing the CARC flame job on a few trucks. Might not sit well with the higher-up though /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif

When I was looking to purchase a M1009 I was thinking a vietnam era tiger stripe pattern would look cool. 'Never seen it on a truck, it was used on Special Ops uniforms of the time. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

tiger stripe uniforms
 
I think either looks good. Although, to blend in with the IA terrain, you need to paint it corn stalk <font color="green"> green </font>. /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif
