It is the color that my old company used. I plan on repainting it when business pics up.

I saw one that was bronze & red.

Not a Ford...but there was a bronze/red Chevy used to run around my hometown with a teal topper on it...



Ugliest paint job on a gen 8/9 might have to go to the gen 8 i see at the grocery store a lot. Doesn't look too bad from 100' (medium-blue and white two-tone) but any closer and the patchwork on the body starts to look bad, and the brush strokes don't help, either. :rolling laugh:

I've seen your truck - and it didn't look like this one!!!

Your truck's a beaut.

This was that brownish oxidized broze color with the large red stripe down the center.

Your forgiven!!!
 
althought common, i'm just not a fan of the red/gray/red combo.

i even looked at one like that a year or so ago, but looking at them again - just don't like them

gray/white FTW!!

I really don't think there are too many ugly paint jobs. Although, I was never fond of the faded brown metallic and tan I had on my old 87 Bronco. I personally think the only ugly paint is neglected paint or cheap paint. But for reference, here's what I used to affectionately refer to as the 'Tan Turd':

haha sad thing was that didnt have the 4.3!..............it had the 2.8L V6!!! ugh you want to talk about the SLOWEST engine EVER!........burned about a quart a week and got crapy mileage and crappy power.....and leaked EVERYWHERE. haha ie had that thing tipped on its side in a snow bank( tried to park on the bank and slowly fell over haha no damage) had it buried to the door handles in mud, THE DOORS FELL OF ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL!!! it had about 200,000 miles on it. it was a piece of sh*t but it was my first vehicle and i loved it lol

Don't pretend like that 4.3 V6 is good for anything but reliability though. I had one in a 1500 Cheyenne W/T and it was a DOG. That thing sucked gas down at 12mpg and was slower than a granny walking uphill. I hated the engine so much I sold it.

Geez...now you're just being stuck up...I'd love 12 mpg's...haha. That's double what Red gets...although I lied, the Bronco and Thunder do get 12 mpg's on the highway.
