I did some work on my extended cab truck getting it ready to sell, probably on Ebay soon. It looks like a new truck now. Here are the before pictures.

And the after pictures. I had the wheels and tires from another truck so that is why I used them as I thought they were a little bit too big for it but seems to look good with them. It looks like a 3/4 ton now which it is. All of my neighbors thought I had bought another truck.

Nice

Looks good, but heres a suggestion, black out the a and b pilar between the two windows and the windshield. THat whole section. Leave the drip rail white though. It would look really nice, at least I think it would.

Quick photochop... Not sure if I like it better or not.

Opps, didn't read A piller too.

Nope. Don't like that blackout business. Sure is a sharp looking truck though.

chevy_mike · 08-28-2009, 11:41 PM

Maybe grey like the main color.

extd56 · 08-28-2009, 11:43 PM

I like it the way it is, maybe having darker tinted windows would be nice. I would not be selling this but since I have my other 67 extended cab done I don't need this one, I think.

Can you make the whole top black?

I've never seen an extended cab on a 67 - 72. Did you customize it from a long bed standard cab? It looks great! You mentioned you had a '67 in extended cab as well. Can you post some pictures? Thanks!
