72 GMC step side/ 72 Chevy short bed updates (02/04/12)

I definitley like the second set of wheels best, but as Roger said, buid it how you like it.

For comparison, here's a 67 (front grill and fenders, not sure about the rest of the truck, since it's a custom):

Here's a 69:

Here's a 71/72:

That's looking much better with these wheels. That's really cool pickup overall, that stance is just perfect. Pro Street Pickups are quite rarely seen, maybe I should start one, I have one new Ford Pickup, and one S10 Pickup, I'm just not sure about that Chevy, though. I might trade it to some other model...

Thanks for all the feedback fellas, my dad used to have a 67 C/10 with the small back window window, that black truck in those pics is a beast.... any more pics of it...

[tyrone]

I think I'm going to use the steelies on this one for what I have planned I think, they will look the best on here, I put the stepside on hold for now because I plan on widening the rear fenders a little.. thanks again fellas....

[Bartster]

Actually, the fenders DID change in '68 as that's when side marker lamps were incorporated. Other than the markers '67 & '68 were the same.

If you're going to go with the green and white Tyrone,I would suggest this color on the green. I'm not sure if this particular truck has the factory color, but Chevy had a green very close to this.

[ItsThePaint!]

here you go Tyrone. Don't know why, but I never got a pic of the motor. I painted it about 6 years ago.also don't know why the show pics are so small!!

[tyrone]

thanks for all the pics and comments fellas, well I've got some paint on this one, I went with dupli color olympic gold and oxford white. I've got the bmf done and the next nice day we have I'll get some clear on it... here's a few mock up pics, thanks for looking and comments welcome...

[Bartster]

Really loved those Steelie Wheels/Rally Wheels (or what they were). Those new wheels look very good too, but that look with those steelies was great.
