Truck looks great! Question is, how do you like the pin striping?

87Lowrider · 04-09-2009, 09:21 PM

Well,

I think it looks good!

It throws off my plans for the insides though. I was planning on Red/Black interior.

I'm thinking of parting out my '86 Jimmy (Seats, console, Dash Pad, Door Panels, visors, etc). Pulling the motor & tranny to put into the '57 after freshening it up. Retire the '86.

I believe JDurant was interested in my bench seat in the '87. We want buckets in it.

*Dylan · 04-09-2009, 09:23 PM

Well, it would be easy to go over the pin striping would it not? You could do it in maybe white or light gray on top with a red stripe on the bottom the go with the interior you want.

thirdstreettito · 04-09-2009, 09:33 PM

Sweet! Looks very good!

andrewmp6 · 04-10-2009, 07:21 AM

Needs some old style pin stripping or some kinda old logo on the door make more rat rod looking.

*87 chevy silverado* · 05-02-2009, 09:00 PM

that looks good the way it sits

87Lowrider · 05-02-2009, 09:52 PM

That's NICE! Tight truck man!

BIG10 · 05-02-2009, 11:15 PM

Yes, that is a sweet truck!

87Lowrider · 05-02-2009, 11:23 PM

Thanks guys!

Here's a thread I started that I probably should have put here.

I might still be interested in that seat. But priorities have changed a bit.

Your truck looks excellent. And lucky it turned out that way. I would have flipped my lid about that guy putting on the stripe without my knowledge though. But, I love it. You made some good choices on what trim to keep and what trim to remove. I think tan interior sure would look good now.

Hmmm. Tan? Never considered it. I'd like some buckets for it and a console. Wife needs a headrest for those long cruizes'.

It had a red interior but most everything was rattle canned black except the inside trim. I'm pretty sure I can remove the black paint on the inside of the doors to reveal the original color, or worst case swap them with the ones in my '86 Jimmy since its my DD. They are Red also and in perfect shape.

Truck looks incredible. Very well executed!

Do you recall what the backspacing is on those TTs? I thought my '49 was going to be my 1st project but I picked up a straight '84 that I can get on the road soon as my daily driver and TTs are in its immediate future.

JohnC · 05-06-2009, 09:11 AM

Yeah Ken you have an awesome truck. One of the top ones of the site. It's a nice tasteful truck, and I really look forward to future work you do to it. Keep it up man!

dieselarmy13 · 05-06-2009, 09:26 AM

I've always liked your truck, now I love it! The pinstripe looks great.

Pyrotechnic · 05-06-2009, 03:07 PM

Your body man rolls like he's Chip Foose.

He definitely went out on a limb with the pinstripes but I think they look great. They should look great with whatever interior you choose.

Your truck turned out really nice. I think the body man was spot on with the stripe color. I totally agree with jdurant, tan would rock that truck....
