72 with full wheel covers
Well I had some good time today with the 72 and I discovered that I do not care for the full wheel covers on this truck. I have a set I am getting ready to sell (see parts board soon) and thought I would give em a try.
When I have the cash, It will have TTD's 15x7's fronts / 15 x 8's rears 235/70/15 275/60/15 I also rid the poor truck of that hideous rear bumper. I have a nice chrome sports bumper on the way. Hope everyone is enjoying the long week end and remembering those who served us. |

Re: 72 with full wheel covers
Also, the tail pipes are going to be redone to fit tighter and be tucked in and more out of sight. They look like hockey sticks under there

Re: 72 with full wheel covers

Re: 72 with full wheel covers
I'm interested in the hubcaps. Are they the blue bow ties? Any curb rash dents? Send me some pics. Thanks, Casey

Re: 72 with full wheel covers
Looking good, Tom. I love that mustard yellow
By the way, I've seen tail lights like yours before with the two round things in the center. What are they there for? Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 72 with full wheel covers
I'd like to know what you're wanting for the covers also.

Re: 72 with full wheel covers
I only like wheelcovers with whitewalls. That's how it was back then. A standard car got hubcaps and blackwalls and a deluxe got wheelcovers and whitewalls.
Are there wheelcovers that aren't "full"? ![]()

![]() Everyone who doesn't read SPIDs calls this color Mustard,except artists who paint with oil. My first truck 40 years ago was an Ochre SWB Fleetside Highlander. If they didn't call it Yellow they called it Mustard. I like mustard so it didn't bug me. Maybe that's because I called it Mustard,too. Heck,I never paid attention to SPIDs. That's why I didn't know I had a Highlander till 20 years later. It said Custom Deluxe on the side and to tell the truth I didn't know that meant fancier than this but not as fancy as that. All I know is it had a plaid seat and the first thing I did was remove the wheelcovers and put on hubcaps. My next truck was also Ochre with a white top. That one was a SWB Stepside (no such thing as a SNB) ![]()

Re: 72 with full wheel covers
Nice truck!
What rear bumper was on the truck? The big "truck" bumpers look way cooler than sport bumpers... but that's just me. I have the big ol' honkin' truck bumper still on my '72. ![]() Gary

Re: 72 with full wheel covers
Thanks Gary,
I don't mind the "big' step bumpers on 3/4 and 1 tons but for the little 1/2 I really like the sports. Here is what it had, I believe 2000 + pickup / tahoe / suburban painted to match. It is still available but shipping would kill |

Re: 72 with full wheel covers
To me the 88-98 bumpers look like a sport bumper you can step on. Those look better than the '99+ bumpers,IMO. These trucks...and sport bumpers are rounded,too.

Re: 72 with full wheel covers
I absolutely love blue dots but sadly cops hate them. They make your tail lights a bright neon reddish pink purple color that's just sexy as hell. I think it's better because they appear brighter and stand out.
