Here are some pics of my 69 with black wall. Frankly, I like the white letters out better but I let my son pick since he is the primary driver of this one.

That's a really nice truck. Mine is a green and white long box, so I'm partial to the green and white trucks in this thread. I decided to try black wall out. My tire guy said he's flip them for $25 if I didn't like it. Pictures coming soon.

I've never been a fan of RWL and recently I remembered why. I bought a set of new-truck takeoff wheels and tires for my F-150. Keeping those RWL looking somewhat clean is a royal pain the backside.

In my opinion think raised white letter tires are for Muscle Cars and modern SUV's not trucks. I do like a one inch or so whitewall on a truck.

My truck has white wall tires right now........dad ran those on all his vehicles for decades......I used to clean those with a brillo pad when I was a kid.

My jury is still out.......

I had the same issue with mine. I bought a pair of wheel dust shields for the front wheels and that helps keep the wheels and tires clean. My wheels are painted white and I can go for weeks without cleaning them and they still look good.

I prefer black wall, especially if you are running an "off brand" tire. TA's look ok out though. There was a member here that made his own white letters. His name evades me right now, but overall his truck was very cool all the way around.

An old friend of mine always said, "When the tire companies pay me to advertise for them, I'll put their letters out".
