patina or no patina?

I agree about the stance and wheels/tires being nailed either way. If you're looking to make a shop truck, chances are you're hoping it gets some favorable attention when you drive it around.

I would suggest getting everything else right on the truck first and trying the door logos for now. If you don't like it, you can always paint it. Hard to to go back the other way once it's painted.

I personally like rusted old stuff with the right look. VWs pull the look off all the time, and it looks better to me than shiny VWs. Fat fendered trucks can pull it off pretty easy too. Not sure about our trucks without seeing it, but it's easy enough to find out. If you don't like it, you can do what you were planning to do anyway.
