    The logo is red, as is 90% of the fleet. I think only 4 trucks out of 80 something are white. The outline of the white "FTI" insignia on my battery box is black, which is why I thought a black frame would look best. I feel like if the frame was any other color, I'd have to have some other stuff painted that color to make it look right

    Now that I’m not working my old 351 much anymore I’m going to eventually paint the frame back to a blue when I repaint the rest of it. The frame originally was blue but over it’s 53 years it got painted black because when it was working it was easy to keep touched up with a rattle can of Rust-Oleum. Lol!
    The nice thing about a nuetral color white cab is any color frame will work. You could even paint it to match the interior color.
    I remember seeing a new ‘86 FLC white colored with orange and burgundy stripes that had a biege frame. Always thought that was a sharp clean look.

    Yeah, I can see what you mean. Although, you have black lines around your doors and sleeper door. I think the logo on the battery box wouldn't stand out too much.

    Just My opinion, you'd be the one driving it. :D

    One, there’s no cat in that truck. Two, it’s ugly.

    You know that's a Scania for super truck racing, right.
    Man AG is the leading truck in the series.

    Google or duck - duck - go it.
    Sorry, do NOT Google it - or anything.
    Always use duck - duck - go.
    "How stuff works.com" has a good rundown.
