white bumpers AND trim?

Any have pics of a 73-78 with not only white bumpers but also white headlight bezels and upper and lower grille trim. And side mirrors? Kinda like the 67-68 trucks.I've been thinking about how it'd look. My gut says the light bezels and upper lower grille trim in white may just be a little much. Lookinh for pics and opinions.

Re: white bumpers AND trim?

the white mirrors were part of the custom deluxe package I don't think the white trim elsewhere would look good.. I mean the early vans had that too and it wasn't that pretty albeit functional

Re: white bumpers AND trim?

My thinking too. I'm set on bumpers and mirrors at least for a while... I've got the "dumbo" mirrors as my cab and doors are an 86 but I've seen those mirrors white too. I should probably just sacrafice a set of bezels and trim to see... grille is a 73-74 and I was thinking aboit painting bezel inners black like 73-74 factory

Re: white bumpers AND trim?

I love white trucks with black trim. That one, no so much. Headlieght bezels needed to be partially black.

These big flat trucks need some contrasting colors on the front to keep the headlights from visually bugging out.
