How can I make it look better?? '86 C10

[Leonard60]

I had an 81 almost the same a little lighter grey though. I’d put a chrome rear step bumper on it. Front bumper guards on it. A year correct hood ornament (factory gm) replace the side modding an leave it alone. I’m partial to factory original look.

Replace the 'chrome' lace w/plain black rubber lacing of both front & rear glass. Pitch running boards they are bulky & too short. Polish & or replace the lenses w/nicer ones due to fading. Stock rear bumper. A nice semi gloss black paint in the wheel wells/rear end frame areas. Lowering it w/a slight rake, then rubber rake w/taller tires on the rear. How smooth is paint surface? Polished/glazed/sealant to a shimmering shine will really wake it up. Mothers (or favorite brand) metal polish everything on the exterior carefully. Cover that w/sealant too when finished.

I forgot to say I like the two tone paint job!

(I like two tone trucks)

Ditch the running boards, floor mats, all the diamond plate, steering wheel cover, and rear step bumper.
Install all new mouldings ($150 retail new), rear sport bumper ($60 pick n pull).
Lower it 5/7 ($450 ebay parts)
Keep the whitewalls on the rallys.
OPTIONAL: Front bumper guards ($15 pick n pull)
For about $700 and some work that thing would look great!
