Thinking very seriously about this paint scheme. Second picture is a poor modification using Microsoft Paint. What do you guys think of the chrome trim vs the painted front end? Secondly, what is your best guess on the lowering scheme? Thanks for any input.

Here is the "no chrome" version.

I like chrome. To much brown in the lower one. Not enough accents. My .$02.

CHROME!!!! As if you had any doubt :P I like a variety of colors and styles but on that truck...CHROME!

Chrome...

chrome, 1st paint scheme looks good

Oborny71 03-01-2003 12:53 PM

Chrome don't get you home, but it sure looks nice! The rest of the paint scheme looks nice. Looks about like a 4/6 drop.

Chrome.

amstaff 03-01-2003 01:47 PM

Chrome! BTW, those colors look awesome!

barn9 03-01-2003 01:54 PM

Chrome! Color combo looks good to me too!

chrome on 71/72. paint on 67/68

rusty ol' 69' 03-01-2003 04:44 PM

Chrome!!! That'll look frickin' sweet

Imagine that... I'm going to dissent :)

I say #2. But only after you swap the front end out with a '67.

Chrome...and bagged.

Orence1 03-01-2003 06:20 PM

Looks like the vast majority favor the chrome. Thanks for the input guys.

I am going with a full chrome front end on my GMC Jimmy. I like them both actually, the second pic makes the truck look sinister. My .02. In the end it's what you like most not what anyone else thinks. Dan

being a 67 owner I have always thought the crome front end on 72s could be lightened up a bit, you could go with a painted roll pan and the chrome grill, maybe do something to lighten up the headlight bezels, could you use 67/68 ones? nothing better than the best of both worlds!
my 3 cents
