Cheyenne Trim?? Yes or no

Looking for opinions. Trying to do something different with the truck Keeping the same paint or possibly changing the white to a different color. Like the look of the cheyenne with the woodgrain, but has anyone done it with no trim??? Or a different kind of trim??

Re: Cheyenne Trim?? Yes or no

Leave it......I'm a "trim" fan. Color is personal, but I like two colors (one being White) when you have upper and lower moldings. the moldings and two colors also make a lowered longbed look longer and lower.....I like.

Re: Cheyenne Trim?? Yes or no

the stock trim looks great when it is good, but, it looks likie crap when it is not good, is quite expensive to replace, and is a HUGE rust megnet. In WI you know exactly what I am talking about. You'll probably crap when you pull the old trim off.
With all that said, when going stock, or restomod style, the 2 tone with upper and lower trim makes it look a million times better.
Personaly, I have yet to see a truck with other than stock moldings look good (to me) and 2 tone with no trim looks real bad (again, to me).

Re: Cheyenne Trim?? Yes or no

Thanks for the response. I think the first one says it all. The trim makes it look long and low.

It will stay!

Tires are 295/50/15's.
