Nice truck maxh! I can't say why but I like this color combo. I think it gives it a cool vintage look.

PlastiDip on the truck today.

Question on the PlastiDip. What is it and what is the appeal of it? I've heard of people doing it. I've dipped some tools in it. Seems like it would be a real bear to remove if you ever decide to paint.

Thats slick looking man! Been thinking of plasti-dipping my 86... I don't know yet though!


OT: My 86 c10 with a Gen 5 454 Note the plasti-dipped mirrors and other things.. I already took all of it off though.

This is an update photo from my last post here.
I put in the phantom grille I've had laying in the shop for a year in and I think it gives the 84' a whole new look?
Had to shine it up and take it for a cruise too!

Its a 5/5 Belltech. Flip kit coils and spindles I believe.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
Saweet!
That's what I like about these trucks just putem in the weeds and add bit of rubber and you got yourself a custom looking truck! btw thx for the comments and it always seemed to me you either love or hate phantom grilles no middle ground? :chevy:
I always get that "ol' skool" reply probably cause I'm not exactly a kid and that's the way we did it in the day,cragars,ansen's,centerlines we took those "ugly" ralleys off as soon as possible,now I'm tryin to find another set for my 85 so it will look stock go figure.
