Re: White vs. Chrome

HO455, It's hard not to like that truck with whatever it has. ...and with New Mexico plate, interesting. It looks like south central part of the state. Thank you for the post.

1970cstblazer, That's a badass Blazer! I purchased those same mirrors to give them a try. ...something between the sport mirrors and camper mirrors in size. I think it's the trim that leads in well to chrome bumpers front and back.

Thank you all for your posts! I had asked three of my friends, and they all suggested chrome instead of the white theme. I was leaning maybe 60/40 towards going with the white like original, and that's about what the poll is currently at. If it were a Cheyenne, then without a doubt I'd be going back with chrome. But it's not, it's a Custom Deluxe.

The current wheel/tire combo isn't exactly to my liking, but those worn out tires actually measure 33". I have 35" tires to mount onto those 20" wheels, but I'm leaning towards lowering it a bit and going with 33s on 18s with a white steel wheel.

Get this... I parked it in the front driveway in 2019, and had it ready to test drive in 2024. ...and that was mostly with drivetrain upgrades. I did have to replace the turn signal, replace body bushings, install shoulder belts, redo the tail light harness, refurbish the rear view mirror, and install the fender badges. I get so many compliments and thumbs up that made it all worthwhile. But now I have to do the body work.
