It's nice to know that I'm not the only guy who sits his engines down in old tires...I think we are going about this all wrong. If it's about trucks, then we'll have to go with blue.
(Just got this rebuilt a few moths back - it's going in something sweet)
Ford blue would be a little garish on a GEC though...
Chevy Orange though... we could talk.

I cast my vote for BROWN... Antique Yellow to be exact... Trying to counterbalance all the votes for Pink
My choice has not changed. I favor red and have had good success with GEC's red sawcut in the last few years - I'd love to add the forum knife in red sawcut to my modest collection (please pay the soup bone no mind).
Ivory bone, new:
In different light:
I think this one is about 50 years old, and I'm guessing has faded from a light brown/caramel original color:
After 100 years or so, white bone can look more tan or yellowish like old ivory.
Golden under incandescent light:
It’s rare that I can honestly type LOL, but that one actually made me laugh out loud!

Even if Non-Red voters unite and try to defeat Red with their coalition move, then it seems only one other color will win, say brown. In that scenario ALL other colors will be compromised too. Trying to defeat red collectively will be defeating non-reds (white,yellow, and so on) individually by BROWN!!
Brown is Red and Red is Brown….
Good luck

White is right. So ill probably just let my vote ride there. Let the brownies and redders battle it out.
Hopefully, if its red ill manage two and give the pinker one to my daughter (she loves pink) when she gets older. If brown i can hope we all vote in one thats not so tacky.

The crazy thing is that even if Red wins, it still has to beat Black Cherry.
Which many people, including me, will vote for, in an effort to avoid any chance at a pink handled knife.
Safer to just vote Wonderful White and be able to dye it the Bloody Red you desire!

Seeing the percentages in both polls (official and unofficial) only Brown looks as ‘the’ contender to Red.
My second choice would be white.
But If there’s no chance of White winning, then better stick to Red and accept the Black Cherry if that be the outcome.

ETA: And the perfect color for a barlow -- the workin' man's knife!

I am of a sort that doesn't adhere to "brand loyalty" really (regarding motor vehicles at least). There are years of Fords that I like better than Chevys and vice versa - there are even some Dodges that can kick the pants off both of them in certain cases.
I hope to show off my project at some point in the near future. Right now it is disassembled - doing body work, getting the frame squared away, etc.
But if you're curious, I am restoring a 1967 Ford F250 Custom Cab. Doing a "patina" build of sorts - focusing on fully redone innards, new wheels, interior, etc. I have a '71 F100 as well, which I was hoping to turn into a hot rod of sorts but it is in pretty poor condition compared to the 250 - right now, it is a parts truck.
Yes! This was a 360 that I had converted to a 390. I might have tried to go bigger but I have to watch my costs in certain areas. It can be easy to go pretty crazy if one doesn't set limits.

Dang, that is sweet. Mine is definitely not that pretty. I will probably get some different valve covers though - might dress it up a wee bit.

In the late 70s I was lucky enough to be at Laguna Seca Raceway when the Shelby Club was having a driving event. It was beyond words...close to a paranormal experience.
