You need the chrome.
Member Raguemoe's 67 swb is one of my all time favorites.
Sorry, but this is a classic look.

Is there a build thread?

That is a nice looking truck for sure but the question is, would I want a truck that looks just like someone elses? I did learn something by looking at the pics, its all black trim and bumpers or all chome/polished. I also think the white bumpers look out of place, almost makes the front bumper look like a rear step bumper.

I guess I don't worry about someone else having the same truck.
If you like the black trim that's what you should do.
I'll sit back and shut up. Ha.

White with the chrome is very sweet! Guess I missed this somewhere along the way but are you changing the front clip?

Yes, I'd like to run a '68 front end.

My $.02... Chrome!

Just started and read this thread today........I think I'm caught up with all the changes. As for trim/color......gotta agree with the white/chrome look too. I know you're trying hard to get black in there (explains your love of the previous wheels?). But, as always, as the theme has been - what does your boy think? Not that he should be the final answer but it's you two that will see and drive it so you gotta do what you two like, not what everyone else wants. Keep on truckin with it........deadline's a loomin'. Subscribed.

I wouldn't worry about looking like any other trucks on here, look at me I'm painting mine red and how many trucks are Red. Besides I've only seen one white c10 like that and it's the one Keith posted.

Thanks for the feedback fellas, it's much appreciated.

You think you're caught up with all the changes?? You should spend ten minutes in my head!!

Your truck will look good however you decide to the paint and bumpers. In the end you have to make it the way you want.
With that said, I think Chevy got these trucks "right" the first time. It's hard to beat any of them with chrome and full trim. As far as color goes, just about any color looks good on the 67-72.
Oh and don't worry about being unique. All of our trucks are different in their own ways. Height, wheels, engine, etc. rock on

[nlped]

Okay, since uniqueness is the key...GOLD PLATE 'em

Well stated.

Truck looks amazing, I really dig the coilovers. that is what I would like on havoc.

I know you've heard a lot of opinions, and I hope you haven't heard enough, or this will just annoy you. Hopefully not though... Here goes:

I, personally, like the chrome instead of the black. But that's me. If you like the black go with the black. BUT, something to consider... If you scuff and paint the trim, and at some point want to go back to chrome/stainless look, you'll have to replace or replate it all = $$$. If you just want to see what it looks like, maybe keep it that way for a year or two, you might try painting the pieces with Plasti Dip. I'm not really familiar with the product so you'll need to do a bit of research, but from what I've seen/heard, it can be pealed off without damaging the surface under it. Might at least be worth looking into.

By the way, I like watching you run all (most? maybe just some?) of your ideas through this thread. It's fun trying to picture the end result... Nothing beats the real thing though. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Nuke1, the guys at PBFAB.com have everything you need so give them a shout.

I'm not sure I'm the most undecided builder on the board but I'm probably in the top 10... Just wait until we get to the interior.

I'd say I'm right up there with you, Buck. But, boy, do i love that interior pattern!

[slowcpe]

If chrome bumper and trim are on the table that would be my pick hands down. There's just something clean, simple and timeless as a clean white vehicle with some shiny trim.

[SeTx67]

I say go with chrome. My truck is all white and it needs something to set it off a little more

Worked on the heater delete panels tonight. A little more tacking and then a bunch of grinding.

Nice work on the firewall. In hindsight, I wish I could have used the PBFab fillers. They look like they would make the bodywork so much easier. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Mike, They do make it easy but I don't do body work (filler/paint) so I couldn't comment on that part. The area around the blower motor is a little distorted, but I think it was like that before I started. I just took my time and spread the heat out trying to avoid warping and it seems to have turned out well. Once I get these done and the corner piece installed I plan to smooth over the "wire well" in the top of the firewall, that should be interesting. I really like how the firewall in Keith Stephens' "Tiffany" looks so I'm going to give it a shot. After all it looks easy in his build thread; photo 1 = rusty firewall, photo 2 = perfectly smoothed firewall, should be a snap! I wish I had a portion of the talent some of you all have just in your pinky finger, you make it look easy.

[C10_ustacould]

Finished welding on the firewall panels today.

All welded up


Ground as smooth as I can get it. Will need some attention from a body man.


I think it will look good once the painter is done with his magic.

Nice work Buck!

[nlped]

Nice work Ernie! That makes such an improvement.

Highlander plaid interior?!?
