That looks like the right clips for 69-72!!! Not 7 or 8 Kennys trucks will have them!!

Man, it works. Not something I think I would have the 'nads to do, but it's exactly how I envisioned it in my mind. Run with it dude-- sometimes being different is a good thing-- really makes your truck stand out as being different and custom, while still managing to be subtle. Perfect mod, IMHO...

Now, the AF bomber jacket leather, I dunno. I think it may clash, but I'd have to see a sample of the color you plan on running. Will the interior be body color, or something else?

LOL......well if the GOLD is getting this much play, dont worry no-one will even notice the color of the leather ...when they see what it is paired with !!

I love it... for what my opinion is worth.

thank you !

jchav62 · 06-15-2012, 11:30 AM

I LOVE the gold accents... Stay gold Pony Boy... Stay gold...

As for the clips, I don't know... JC62

**67cheby** · 06-15-2012, 11:33 AM

THANKS ! well how about some other subject !! Gary over at STREET DRIVEN CUSTOMS is knocking out the body work !! 60 DAYS TO COMPLETION !

watahyahknow · 06-15-2012, 11:36 AM

might be a good idea to take the two compressors of , there a little in the way when he starts sanding the cabcorner

**67cheby** · 06-15-2012, 11:38 AM

the whole body is coming off, before he does that ! Then i will tie up a few loose ends on the frame blow it apart, bodywork it and PAINT !

raull · 06-15-2012, 11:38 AM

60 days ? please tell me you meant 60 hours !!! lol

**67cheby** · 06-15-2012, 11:39 AM

NOT the body work, 3 weeks on that ....THE TRUCK WILL BE COMPLETELY DONE IN 60 DAYS !!!

hgs_notes · 06-15-2012, 11:49 AM

The holes for the trim are way too small. All of the ones I've removed have much larger holes so the clips are probably correct. As for the trim stripe color, I like the black, but won't bang on the gold.

That is weird on the trim holes, i removed the original trim off of it myself...wish i knew what i did with it !LOL

As for the trim stripe color, I like the black, but won't bang on the gold. Not what I would expect for a color to go with the light blue, but that doesn't mean it's wrong. On the red emblem, I think it would look kinda cool to paint the red area to match the body color.

1stchevy · 06-15-2012, 11:55 AM

Stock trim…no gold!

Sorry man, I'm with the mob on the gold thing. I actually like the red emblems and the stock color in the moldings. BUT, you've shown that you have excellent taste, attention to detail. You can't please everyone, so go with what you like. It's gonna be way-cool no matter what. Congrats!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-15-2012, 12:45 PM

I vote leave it black... That color combo is pretty sweet looking..

X2.
Unless there is something else gold on the truck.

hgs_notes · 06-15-2012, 12:56 PM

Sorry about the double post. It was hidden on the next page, soI re did it. Anyway, I went out and took a pic of one of my tail lights that had the trim removed. It was the same on both blazers, but they are 71-72 style and I don't know if there is a difference. I don't have the original trim to compare the clips, sorry. Looks like the holes are 5/16".

**67cheby** · 06-15-2012, 01:02 PM

hey thanks for doing that !

El Campo · 06-15-2012, 01:33 PM

Man 67Cheby you are the only person I know that is on here more than I am!!! What do you do for a job because I want it!

Havent you seen him dancing around in that GOLD and black bee suit? That should give it away right there.

**67cheby** · 06-15-2012, 01:40 PM

oh man....did you have to bring that up !! lol...AND ITS YELLOW not GOLD !

funkytechmonkey · 06-15-2012, 01:58 PM

Mike... I know I have stared at the trim on your truck for over 15 min. I seriously can not decide if I like the gold or not. I can tell you one thing.... I dont hate it. So that is a positive. My dad has a late 80's silverado behind his house and I know it has the gold trim accents you are talking about. I am trying to like it.... I promise.
