Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

love the 73/74 grille in the 80's front end

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Yea it didnt have one so i robbed it off the rotted 74 before it went to the scrap yard in wich we got $600 out of it with no motor :metal:

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Suprisingly that 73/74 grill with the 80's headlights looks good. Might even look cooler with the headlight bezels on.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

dude, bigcow, me and the wifey were talkin over paint schemes for my crew last night, that is exactly what we agreed on, guess i have to do some more renderings...

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

On most vehicles im getting tired of seeing flat black and red wheels but I thought it works on the dually. If you need some different pictures for a rendering let me know.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

imo flat black is not a paint scheme. Here's my take on this phenomenom: in the old days, an unfinished project might be black primer, and eventually people started bringing their unfinished stuff out on the road, then to cruise nights and eventually to shows. Initially, it was a tiny bit cool that someone would dare to bring it out before it was done, but since then it has come full circle to where people do their entire build with the intention of painting it flat black and leaving it with the unfinished look.
Obviously my (negative) opinion of rat rod flat black is just one opinion, and since so many gearheads like it, there must be something appealing about it to many. But I just wanted to say I don't get it, I don't like it, and most of all it has been overdone these last few years. Can't we move on and complete our vehicles by painting them? WHy the need to look unfinished?
Let's leave the flat black to the true rat rods, homemade hotrods that don't have enough smooth sheet metal to justify a paint job. It just looks silly to me when a project that obviously isn't on a low budget tries to look like it is. Even worse is an unfinished primer flat black paintjob with fancy pinstriping or flames over it. ?? is it just me??

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

some people do it for the look. however, more people do it because they ARE on a budget and they would rather spend the 3000+ it takes to cover a big truck in good paint on; wheels, tires, suspension, interior and other stuff. it comes down to budget. 90% of the people you ask would take a free paint job in a heart beat and leave "hot rod" black in the dust.

me personally, ill drive around in grey primer and peeling paint until that paint job comes along. 40$ in rattle can? too much money :lol:

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Deteoit dan and camshaftgsxr. I agree with both of you. Camshaft you took the words right out of my mouth. Like I said flat black is played out, bit like camshaft said I picked the truck up and this is how it came. In a perfect world everyone would have a nice paint job, but like many others including me money tends to get spent on drivetrain/suspension etc etc. the money sometimes just isnt there for a nice paint job. So why not be able to atleast take your truck out and enjoy it?
