What can you do with a white truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

crawdad · 10-18-2007, 11:01 PM

I've got my eye on a 85 SWB (another one

) that is all white in color. Man! I just can't seem to get enough of these trucks. Like I said, this truck is all white with red interior. Now, don't get me wrong, I really like a white truck, but I was just wondering what could one do to enhance the color a little bit. Maybe...pin stripes, a contrasting stripe, I don't know. I'm not too artistic but I know we've got a bunch of people on this board that are natural-born R-Teest! I would really like to hear your ideas, pictures, etc. on what you can do with white. Thanks

i'd get half the truck painted red, red and white trucks look awesome

**old Rusty C10** · 10-18-2007, 11:18 PM

red like RC415 said or a dark blue or burgandy two tone stripe... stepside454 i believe has a white one like that and its a gorgeous truck

chev74 · 10-19-2007, 12:05 AM

a white truck would look sweet with an offset red racing stripe on the drivers side...

Dinos63 · 10-19-2007, 12:53 AM

whats wrong with just plain old white

impala_631 · 10-19-2007, 02:29 AM

AceX · 10-19-2007, 05:07 AM

Mine has the factory pinstripe, just new tape and alot of fresh paint on it.

crawdad · 10-19-2007, 05:53 AM

Ok, yea I like the pinstripe AceX. Ain't nothing wrong with all white, but just that little subtle pinstripping sets it off. Appreciate the ideas. Any more out there?

68GMC454 · 10-19-2007, 07:49 AM

well when i had my 86 burban, it was white,,but i painted spots on it for the holstien look... thats what happens when yoru drinking with friends and they make a bet wiht you...oh well good thing it turned out good...

**N2TRUX** · 10-19-2007, 08:47 AM

You can do graphics...

**N2TRUX** · 10-19-2007, 08:50 AM

Two tones or flames...

**N2TRUX** · 10-19-2007, 08:52 AM

Lift it....

**N2TRUX** · 10-19-2007, 08:53 AM

Lower it...

**N2TRUX** · 10-19-2007, 08:54 AM

Or even do an extra cab, camper with graphics....

**N2TRUX** · 10-19-2007, 08:56 AM

If it were me I would clean it up, lower it and put some 20" wheels on.

OK, actually I would do it like this...

CLASSIC87' · 10-19-2007, 10:30 AM

Here's my current all white... and the 2nd pic was my blazer with red in the middle (umm yeah poor picture)

bufmatmuslepants · 10-19-2007, 10:33 AM

Eyegore · 10-19-2007, 10:51 AM

what can you do with white? drive the crap out of it.with a big smile

.white's cool...take a look at the ones that posted pics.....i'd say they speak for themselves

knightlife · 10-19-2007, 12:19 PM

paint drop and deck it? thats bout the only thing that comes to mind when I see a white truck...my fav color is black... I wish N2TRUX would lgive me my truck back that I let him borrow...LOL

kevinr1970 · 10-19-2007, 12:55 PM

Ken the librarian of images come through

BTW, that extended cab looks familiar...

As far as white trucks go if it doesn't already have the side trim I would do that. Pure white with no trim looks good with a lot of other mods but I love the look of the factory trim.
I also love two-tones but would prefer the white being the seconday color.

No just partial to that color scheme, I've had 4 k5's over the years, just can't get them out of my system

Malo83 · 10-19-2007, 01:37 PM

A white truck is a blank canvas, put a pic up and have somebody photoshop it with different schemes and heights, a lot of talented people here on the Forums
