What color for this new project- yes started another one to match the 67dart?

sweptline truck question

OK, I have a question for you folks. I am now starting my truck project. Yes I am still working on the dart and others, but may be moving and selling soon, this spring, so I am trying to get some paint work done as I wont have a shop for a while if I do sell.

I have this 67 Power wagon/ short wide. It’s a little 318 and runs well, but its in sad shape metal wise. It’s a truck that spent its whole life in the Lake Tahoe and severe snow area. It’s a 4 speed truck but someone placed a piece of wood in the bed years ago and the bed rusted. The last owner hit a tree at low speed and damaged the rt fender, hood and grille areas. The pass side door has some rust as well as the pass side rocker.

So I also have this 63 Dodge short wide 2x4. I wanted to make this a street truck but since I have been unable to find a donor for my 67, I have decided to use this as a parts truck. I have removed the front clip and pass side door.
Its now time to choose a color combo for the power wagon.

I thought I would involve you and see what feedback I get. I simply want some feedback on what color combo you guys think may look best.

I am just trying to finish up my 67 Dart, which is now Q5 turquoise metallic, pictured below with white interior and stripes when finished.

The P.W is also a 67 and I was thinking it would be kind of cool to do it white cab as pictured now over the same Q5. I do like the color but thought that these two work horsed side by side that way would be cool.

I also have a passion for Viper red, the color of the 70 Cuda vert and was even thinking Petty blue with a white cab like my 72 Cuda.

I do like some of the other trucks on here like Bigdads silver sweptline and Gts red truck.

So what color would you shoot it?  Any other suggestions? How do you think the white cab over Q5 would look?

Thanks for any input.

Have some pics of your own sweptline? Can I see them, thanks

I vote for the Q5. There aren't many colors that will look like they belong together with the Dart. They may look good together, but not like they are matched.

I'm kind of diggin' on the viper red with a white top. That would be awesome.

Can't go wrong with any of the colors you mentioned though. I just think old trux look great when they are bright red Cool

nothing like RESALE RED, but the Q5 with white top and interior would look cool and if you ever take both to show ot trailer the dart with the wagon it would look like old drag team off to the track

Q4 w/white top and white top on Dart would look real good.
