Re: nostalgic trucks...lets see em.
these trucks never had white walls on em,so that wouldnt be all that "nastalgic". white walls are for cruiser type pre 60s Cars , i hate white walls on these trucks. its horendious!

Re: nostalgic trucks...lets see em.
They could come with the thinner white walls. I used to agree with you on the use of wide whites. But there have been a few Ive seen lately with the wide whites that looked pretty good.

Re: nostalgic trucks...lets see em.
Here's a couple pics of my 67. It's a love it or hate it kinda thing. I have people tell me they like it and others who tell me it looks like ass. Dosen't matter to me. I like it. Will be even better when it's finally bagged.

Re: nostalgic trucks...lets see em.
I was thinking more on the line of photos from '67-'73. What they were building (driving) at that time?

Re: nostalgic trucks...lets see em.
Sorry if i worded this wrong. It's just when i think of nostalgic i think of something that has some hotrod flair. And when i think of hotrods white walls automatically come to mind.

Re: nostalgic trucks...lets see em.
We can do it how we like.But,when it comes to nostalgia with 67-72s you need to be from that era.These things just ain`t`50s nostalgic.The whole thing with being nostalgic is about being period-correct.It`s use what they had up to that point and/or what they were currently doing.Maybe 5 years ahead,like later in the`70s.There were guy`s lost in the`50s in the`70s,but they were "out of it",so to speak
![]() Here`s my`71 CustomCamper/20 cruising "sans camper".It`s got the aluminum slots,wide on back for hauling(& good looks).The white tonneau looks good with the paint.But,it`s job is to protect the wood floor when camper is removed.Headers,duals,cam,intake...mild perfoemance to enhance hauling ability(and it`s a hot rod off-duty)... ![]() With camper it`s nostalgic since the camper is original to the truck and original graphics painted ochre to match... ![]()

Re: nostalgic trucks...lets see em.
Here was my rig from before the CustomCamper.It had the top since back when it was new and I went for aluminum slots instead of what was out in the`80s.You could still get them until the late`80s.But,I wanted the stance and overall look to look like it could be 1973...
![]() When I did the Blazer I went with chrome spokes and tire size/stance that would go back to the era... ![]() This truck here is all `70s.I used the unpopular white spokes just to help it look "as is" from the`70s and to show they can look good enough in the right place... ![]()

Re: nostalgic trucks...lets see em.
I think full wheelcovers look like crap w/o the whitewalls.I like this bone stock look.Definately nostalgic...
