Re: wondering what you guys think
Both look sharp, but original will always win out with me. The orange lenses look so good, they leave no room for improvement. Nice truck.

Re: wondering what you guys think
The color is hard to see it for me in blue. I'm not into the clear turn signals. I have the brake lens though.

Re: wondering what you guys think
"wondering what you guys think"
Man, asking this question to these guys on this board is dangerous! What do I think? First, take a picture during the daylight, so we can better dertermine what you're asking. Second, I'm not into the whole "clear this or that", but with your trucks color being Gold I like the clears better, but if you're gonna paint it Blue, then orange would be best. IMHO.

Re: wondering what you guys think
You'll find most of the traffic on this site is AFTER business hours.
You gave your post 3hrs for a response during a time span that the majority of the members are at work. Just give it a little time,you'll get your response. anyway...I like the clear lense in this case,but usually lean towards the stock look myself.

Re: wondering what you guys think

Re: wondering what you guys think
Patience is a key to this board...your answers will vary like those of the politicians. For me it depends on the truck. I like the stock look but understand the mechanical improvements for saftey and a better handling and riding truck. That is what I am doing to my 70cst transformation. When lt is said and done...you got to do what makes you happy and realize that there will be those who likes what you do and those who do not...but we will all support the direction you choose. Good Luck!

Re: wondering what you guys think
I like the original orange lenses. I can picture it light blue and low. I have a lowered blue '71 but it doesn't have a white top. I also like the ochre because I have one of those with a white top.

Re: wondering what you guys think
thanks for the feedback everyone yeah that blue is exactly what i like. i agree about the color now i like it but im 21 and trying to mix new school and old school together and that color just doesnt pop to me. i would never drive anything but a chevy and wouldnt do anything to ruin one but the truck is going to be bagged on 20's so that color just doesnt pop like everything else will.

Fresh Ochre pops, Some of the best looking trucks I've seen are ochre.
