Show me Blue n White C10s - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**grumpy** · 01-16-2011, 10:56 PM

I usually have a concrete plan when I get a truck. Ive had alot. But im buying a blue and white 65 short fleet thats heavily patina'd. I love the look.

Problem is Im torn as to whether I want blackwalls or www's, and if I go whites, what color wheels.
if I go blk walls, Im thinking white steelies with poverty caps...

if I go wwws, Im sure I'll get hammered but Im feeling red steelies...

***My truck is near exactly as CWTs except more patina'd..heres his***

Show me pics.....

Come on Grumpy...you being lazy. Research buddy!!!

**jocko** · 01-16-2011, 11:30 PM

66 blue/white with white pc'ed stock steelies and blackwall 235/75/15s. Pov caps are 59 impala (or thereabouts).

You pose a good quesiton - if you go WWWs - white wheels would be a nogo on a blue/white truck, I think, so the red looks great I think.

I'm a blackwall tire kinda person from some reason - but I struggled with white or black wheels. Personally, I LOVE black steelies with blackwall tires and just a poverty cap. If my truck were monotone, that is what I would have done. But since I have a two-toner, I felt the white wheels were more appropriate. For a patina'ed truck, I just might go with black wheels on blackwalls (or whitewalls) and a pov cap.

But then again, that red on CWT's looks AWESOME! Bottom line, I think a basic color is the best choice - black, white, red, etc. Can't wait to see some pics!! If your truck looks like CWT's, you've got a winning combo.
