hen it comes to color choices and, more importantly, color combinations, there are unwritten rules to what works and, more importantly, what does not. Having a background in art/graphic design, I’m probably one of the pickiest when it comes to color palettes as they’re applied to vehicles. If Aaron Read, the owner of this particular 1967 C10, were to have told me the particular hues he was going with before I had the chance to see the finished product, I’m sure my reaction would’ve been less than complimentary. A watermelon, of sorts, bright green and red seem better suited for a Jolly Rancher candy than a top-tier truck as such. But as it turned out, those colors actually work—and quite well, at that!
Multipurpose
1967 C10
Speaking of the wheels, if you’ll notice, the centers of the complex-concave Americans have been treated to a creamy tan color, while surrounding trim work and the Ringbrothers exterior accessories, such as the handles and mirrors, are a light gray. Once again, the artist in me would question the dual accent colors—but once again, in this case they work!
All this talk about color choices and whatnot aside, simply put, Aaron Read’s C10 is one of the most stunning purpose-built trucks I’ve seen to date—and I’m not a fan of green or the taste of watermelons, so there you go!
