My 1963 Carryall photos. Honest opinions wanted!
Hello all,
I've posted my truck before, but now I want feedback. I'm keeping this Carryall totally stock outside with its major "Patina". It's currently almost totally original with a tiny inline 6 and manual 3-speed, but I've already procured a '95 6-lug 3/4 ton chevy to swap out the motor, rear-end, AC and fuel-injection. I'll also be putting in an NP4500 5-speed to make this more of a comfy daily driver. I have air bags and drop spindles with late model disc brakes ready to go on all at the same time. So.....I also bought these factory '07 20" Silverado wheels on Craigslist the other day and was thinking of installing them. I showed the pic below to friends and was met with immediate distaste by most. I was told it looks stupid to have such a rusty body and shiny wheels.....like I'm a poor guy trying to fix up my truck without any taste. I'm obviously capable of fixing the body to normal shiny like everyone else, but I like that the body shows its age and wears its years proudly. So you tell me. Is it cool to have a bagged modern rusty Carryall, but just plain tacky to have it 'rollin' 20's?? I also thought of trying to take the "bling" level down on the wheels by painting them flat black or tan or even rust colored. Thoughts? |
