Random thoughts for the day

Definitely taking the family to get lost in there. We live right there basically. I see enough room for a SHO symbol there. Lol

Vette anyone?
 
Looking for a few opinions. I enjoy both original and at least partially custom looks on classic pickups.

Currently, my 72 C-10 sits all original, and it's a great look. I'm running the thin whitewall tires and everything. I enjoy the look enough to keep it that way, but perhaps freshen it up a tad by powder coating the original steelies a fresh coat of white, losing the factory covers, and perhaps just running those hub and nut caps, and keeping the whitewalls. Also, would run a mild static drop, such as a 3/5 or perhaps a 2/4.

Here it is now:


Alternatively, I also dig the semi-custom appearance of aftermarket, oversized wheels...something like this:



The wheels above are I believe 20", which is a little larger than I want. I'm thinking 18", with a little more tire, in a very similar style wheel.

There's bound to be an objective opinion base here. At least, more so than the truck forum. Ha.

I like the look of some aftermarket wheels on an old truck. Original is a must for some, but they don't compliment the trucks nice lines it seems.

I'm with ya there!

I don't want to lose utility, becasue I still use it alot for yard/house work and such, and even pulling a trailer, even though that is more infrequent. And I don't want to lose any more ride comfort. These old trucks aren't exactly the pinnacle of comfort, with their rudimentary cab mount design and suspension arrangement. 15" wheels gives alot to the ride comfort. Ha!

I found an example of exactly what I want to shoot for. This example is a short wide, and a Cheyenne, but still perfect to give an idea. The wheels are 18" and the drop is 3/5.


Looks friggin sweet!
