classic style Stepside pix thread - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jkrenzel · 03-10-2012, 08:56 PM

Hey guys been surfing on here for a hour or so and could not find what I am look for. I am building my 66 stepside which I wish now a fleetside because of the style. I am a classic guy and I want to be inspired to build a classic gasser style or any stepside that has the basics of white walls flat or satin paint.
please see the video that I attached to see what style I am looking for.

No whitewalls, but I’d say my 1960 qualifies on most counts for the build style you might be after. It started heading toward the gasser style around the bottom of post #28 on my build thread. The Blitz Black paint job started around post 54, and a photoshop version of the planned end result is found on post 97:

Is this what you're looking for?

I don't think gasser is the right word. Actually,classic isn't either. I don't recall ever seeing wide white on these trucks until recent years. It's a new interpretation of an older look placed onto these newer trucks. The mags? Yes,but if they did tun whitewalls they were either the 1"ers or a type you don't see remade these days. They were fairly wide,started at the rim,and were like 2",but not nearly as wide as the gangster wides you see on stuff now. That went out in the mid-50s. I don't know what you want to call them,but I'll try to fill your request here. I guess I'd call it an early-60s mild custom look...the first one w/a twist.

I think we need to define our terms...

Gasser style:

I agree but, if you notice the wheels and the basic paint job thats kinda what I was hinting at .

you were asking about a gasser. that is what he gave to you what a classic gasser looked like
wide whites were going out of style at the production time of these trucks

I knoow what your saying is correct, but I still have to disagree. Wide whites never go out of style, they are just more "in style" at certain times...

perhaps I should have worded it this way. the style of w/w changed in this era.
they do look better on certain period dated vehicles
different strokes, different folks
