69-72 2 Tone Trim on 67-68
Has anyone ever seen the 2 tone trim (white stripe in middle) on a 67-68 or at least with a 67-68 grill?
This is something I have been toying with the idea of for the past couple years on my truck, I love the 67-68 grills, but also love 2 tone with the white stripe down the middle along with a white roof. Seems like the two would look good together, as the white 67-68 grill would just continue the stripe around the front Let me know what ya think and what you have seen Thanks, -Graham |

This topic has come up several times in the past month. I've seen a few thrown together like that while perusing good 'ole Craigslist, but no serious builds where it's done really cleanly. I'm a stickler for stock trim and paint combos, so it always looks weird to me. One option that there was a good consensus on the other threads was doing the 67/68 bottom trim with the 69-72 upper trim. GM almost did this combo in '68 and even did a promo shot of this setup. They painted white below the lower trim instead of in between the two.

I need to look through the photos at my mothers house. My Dad had a '68 cst long bed 1/2 ton and I remember that it had the stock '68 lower trim but I am sure it had the upper trim too. Roof was white and bottom was Hugger Orange. Loved that truck! Drove it in high school.He bought it in 1974 so I guess the previous owner could have added it but not sure.

Ha, wow, that’s very interesting. Thanks! The 69 has always been one of my favorite factory photos, has been a desktop background at times, that’s probably the only reason the difference jumped out at me.
