Your Opinion

i am in the process of restoring a 1969 cst10 lwb.

i am trying to decide if i should keep the trim or not. i love the clean look of trucks without the trim...but i also would like to keep the value of the cst.

what would you do?

thanks

Re: Your Opinion

It is your truck, so do what you like. I like the look of trim if it is in nice shape and the truck is somewhat stock appearing.

Re: Your Opinion

I have a worthless opinion: If you're going for the real stock resto look, I would keep the trim. If you're leaning toward a little more on the custom side and not going by the book then loose 'em.

Re: Your Opinion

all depends on what route you are going with the truck... and what you like better.

Re: Your Opinion

well, i am definatly going for a more custom look, i want to do a drop, with 18 or 20s.

i think i am not going to keep it, because i dont plan on selling it anytime soon.
