60-66 Wide or Skinny Whites??? - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

oem4me · 01-10-2011, 01:34 PM

For my taste:
60-61's get semi-wides (up to 2'')

62's either semi-wide or skinny (7/8" to 2")

63-66's skinny (7/8")

and speaking of taste, I think wide whites look too much like these

Why are those your cutoff years? 62's and 63's are very similar. I think wider whites are more at home with the wrap-around windshield years (60-63). These trucks still have a little 'fifties' feel in them... but I like them on all years... skinnies look good too...

Hey Creep, glad to see that GMC done, can't wait to see it in person.

Thanks Boris. I should have it at both Goodguys' shows this year as long as no problems pop-up. Will probably be at Super Summit and Truckfest as well as Stylin's show. I will be at the Brunswick cruise-ins a lot too.

I would think you could use a tire pen in blue to stain it. Worth a shot, truck looks great with the blue wall. I would love to run a gold line Vogue, but I can't justify the cost.

Like the wide whites on steelies, shaved on wires, white letter on mags,and you cant beat skinnies on astro supreams.
