I really like the way the truck looks as-is. Adding the white to the cab might look good, but I'm a big fan of the black.

The chrome, I definitely wouldn't do, it doesn't tie into the black/white theme.

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,
 

You are slowly building my dream truck!!! :lol:

Here's my personal dream truck:
1967 - check
Black - check
Red Interior - check
Lowered -check
White top - check?
White rockers - no
Lower trim - maybe?
Chrome bumpers and grill trim- no
8" rear steelies - no

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,
 

well I guess you have a point but I was kinda looking at the bumpers being white ? and the grille ? hubcaps ? if the top was white it would tie it in ? ahh if I don't like it my body n paint guy will paint it black again LOL

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,
 

LOL yea it looks like I am ,, I am gonna try the white top you guys cant see it but my paint got some bubbles in it a year ago or so right around the back glass not from rust or anything I think it was some primer I used that bubbled ?? but anyway I gotta paint the top anyway so Im gonna try it white and if it don't knock my socks off then black again it will be :lol:

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,
 

Paint the top white is a big yes, chrome is a big no. My 2cents

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,
 

Here is a quick amateur job I did so you would get a idea of how it would look. I like it!

If you do it I'd strongly recommend using the correct 526 ivory that was used 67-68 for the two-tone trucks. Also remember the 67 used a small drip rail up and back scheme with body color windshield posts and door frames.

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,
 

Go for it. If you don't like it,go back for it :lol:

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,
 

Yes to the white and the trim.
I love your painted grill. Great contrast.

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,
 

You should do it. The white roof and lower trim completely transformed the look of my truck. All black is cool, but black and white with lower trim is just classy and sexy. Have a look at my build thread in my signature to see the difference.

I'd say do what YOU want. It's not a crime to not make it text book original. In the end its your truck and your happiest the way you want it. I'm a big fan of white roofs and the trim makes the 67/8 my favorite body style

I agree! That truck was originally green anyway, so its not like it is all original now. I'd build it like I wanted it.

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,
 

I wouldn't paint it white.

Since you've lowered it, thinking about paint, etc... my thoughts...

Paint the roof and grille area a deep metallic silver. Install the CST trim around the nose, tailgate/lights, and on the sides. Why put chrome on the side with painted bumpers and grille pieces? Yup, chrome bumpers, grille hoops, and headlight covers.

You're welcome :D

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,
 

I agree, except the about the silver. I'm not a fan of the silver on black. They made those in '68, and the silver just looks muted and doesn't pop off the black like white does.

I agree on the chrome!

IMO...;)

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,
 

Ya not a fan of silver roofs either. Except on a silver truck :)

The white roof, with your grill and bumpers would look great. The trim is kind of subjective, as I think it would take the chrome bumpers to really complete that look. In the end, as long as you are pleased, what we say will be more a representation of what we want OUR trucks to look like.

hey thanks for all the opinions guys ! GREAT ! I love this site for these old trucks ! I am 100% for sure gonna paint the top white ! and I am 100% for sure gonna put a oak wood bed floor in my truck , but the lower trim ? I DONT KNOW ? this truck has gave me a lot of enjoyment since 06 when I got it and I guess I just want to change it up a bit ?? looking forward to working on it some more this fall and will post on this site everything I do ,, :metal:

my wife left me after 25 years and she wanted to lets say GET ME ?? as she left the only thing she said she was gonna take was my 67 c10 truck it was not that she wanted it but she knew how much it meant to me ! she knew taking the truck would hurt me the worst , I wont go into detail but I just smiled and laughed at her when she said that as I knew I had an ace to play AND IT WORKED OUT FINE !
me and my son will get MANY years of enjoyment out of this truck !

these trucks are a great hobby ! I love e'm !

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,
 

Sorry to hear about your wife, but I'm glad you got to keep your truck. That truck has been one of my favorites since you built it. It's great as is, but there's nothing wrong with changing some things up.

When you get ready to do your rear trim for the white, let me know, and I'll get correct spacing and distance from the window down for you. I have a '67 small window here that had the chrome trim on it, and I can measure it for you.

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,
 

Yeah,we went through the same thing in '06...mean intentions and all. I have always loved your truck as one that resisted the temptation to "have it all" and just be what it always was. It stands out more than most trucks with high-end options or built with all the latest-greatest doo-dads with nary an original part left on it. What's more,you have an excellent example of the same year Camaro pony car,yet you have this 6-banger 3 on the tree with basic painted trim. And,even resisted the lowering thing till now. First of all,I'm not gonna tell you what to do with your truck no matter what. Second,you've had it quite a while. Many here have gone through a few trucks in the same amount of time. I know you can get bored and you've had 7 years to look at it and get other ideas. Some sell and start another and some just change things around on the same truck. When it's all said and done and many more years go by,you can still say you've had that truck x amount of years. For some it doesn't matter,there's no attachment. For others it's like a cowboy and his horse or a feller and his old huntin' dog...been through a lot together. The longer you own one,the more soul they have.

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,
 

I hear ya tim , and yep no plans to ever sell this truck and not going to do a lot to it just like said above change it up a little , I like driving it a lot better lowered it looks good too so that's that on that LOL want to try the white top and Ive always wanted one with the oak wood floor so that's a gonna git done too ! but the white trim low option look will stay , and as said above ive drove it 7 years without doing much of anything ?? to it , so the change it up a little is just a thang that happens , and if I want to drive a hotrod I got my 67 Camaro this 67 is nice and calm with the 6 cyl ride down the road with one finger on the wheel and the AC blowing cold is kinda nice :lol:

Re: gonna paint the top of my 67 white ,,
 

I would do the white top with the trim under the rear window and side trim! Would look beautiful!
