Simple & effective clutter removal will clean it up nicely.

I no longer have my pop up camper and I only tow a small 5.5x10 utility trailer with not much weight. I have been planning on removing the receiver hitch because of this and also because it gets in the way of my spare tire and I am tired of carrying it in the bed and would like to put it back under the truck.

I have thought about getting a different rear bumper but I still want a step bumper. The bumper I have works fine but its a bit big on the truck I think.

'Hidden' receiver hitches are available & keep the receiver portion tucked discreetly behind the license plate on a Sport/Burb/Blazer bumper set-up. I'm not 100% positive, but it seems the OE spare location could still be utilized as well.

I have planned on getting some Cooper Cobra white letter tires for her. What size should I get though? I am thinking of possibly lowering the truck just a tad little bit. I am also undecided on the wheels. I dont want some massive 18s or 20s. I like the factory size and I may step up to like 16s or possiby even 17s if I found a nice look. I need to poke around this forum a bit to find some other wheels. I know mine need repainted and I am not the biggest fan of the massive 3" wide trim rings that love to fly off every time I hit a rumble strip on the highway.

88-98 15" GM truck wheel trim rings work very well on the earlier Truck Ralleys (or almost any 15" steelie) & are <2" deep. I like the way they only cover the outer lip of the wheels & allow you to see the depth when running deeper dish/staggered width wheels. I'm 100% not a fan of white-walls or raised white letters. Clean & black works the best IMO but to each his own. 15" wheels work. Larger diameter wheels can also look good depending on the combo.

I have thought of a bed cover but with all the diamond plate it has going on back there I am not sure if I want to leave it exposed or cover it all up.

I am not a huge fan of sliding rear windows so that probably wont change.

I do need a new front valance since mine is missing. I also like the factory grille quite a lot honestly.

I'm no fan of diamond tread plate but again to each his own. No diamond plate = less clutter though.
Not a fan of sliding rear windows either. OE glass is always clean looking & less prone for leakage.
New front OEM valance + any factory grille pieces if needed & it will always look sharp. Aftermarket grilles can be trendy as far as visuals.

Originally the truck was solid blue but the original owner had it repainted in the late 90's early 2000's and had the gray in the middle added. Personally I like it. Most all the other C10s around here are solid color and I have one of very few two tones. I agree it could be a different shade and it could look better but a repaint is a bit out of the budget right now.

I prefer solid colors but a clean 2-tone is just that..... Clean. It looks fine 2-tone/as is. The colors seem to work well from what I see on my monitor.
