The wheel lip mouldings look Great ... in my opinion. They work with the other chrome and add an element of 'detail' to the overall look.

I vote: Keep 'em.

I have the same wheel lip mouldings. Hadn't originally planned on them. But with a 6 inch Skyjacker lift and 35x12's I wanted the extra inch of width to protect the fenders. 3 stage paint is a beaoch to repair!
Couldn't find mud flaps big enough so made my own from two rigid semi truck mud flaps. Made a pattern, cut with a scroll saw, sanded the edges with a bench mount belt sander. Also had the entire lower body and wheel lip moldings covered in clearguard. Have it on all my rigs and is amazing stuff to completely prevent road rash.
Also love my 454!

mud.man.rj · 10-17-2012, 07:53 PM

ot much for the roll bar, think it's gone or side bars, but that's just me...but the wheel well chrome is a real nice touch, really like the truck overall.

Actually it was! Nothing a new thermostat housing didn't fix though...

4" lift with 35's... Had to do some wrenching when I brought it home, but its a lot better now. The previous owner had put a 350 flywheel on the 383. The driveline had a couple pretty good sides dents as well. The combination of the two issues made for some crazy loud vibrations going down the highway! Luckily it wasn't driven much at all after he did his "repairs". I got the new flywheel on and replaced the driveline with a nice straight one, replaced all the u-joints and fluids, and made sure everything was good and greased. Drives down the road pretty nice now except for all the gas that keeps disappearing at a startlingly rapid pace!

I'm progressing. New BFGs, tint windows, new lenses, new mirrors, new radiator, new flywheel/starter, wax (!), and a new grill and headlights.

Next up is steering, brakes, a better stereo setup, and 15x8 steelies.

I picked this one up last week....not sure what I'm going to do with it.

One day I want to restore it, the next I want to flip it....my heart isn't into it yet but getting close after looking at all the nice trucks in this thread.

Anyone want to do some body work in the St. Louis area let me know....

Here is my 1971 K20 with a 6.2 turbo diesel. All original body and paint with ZERO rust.
