Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

Yeah. Basically just bolt-on center caps. Put the wheels on, put the caps on over them and then put the lugs on.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

anyone know of a simple way to shop pictures so I can decide on a color scheme? I've changed my mind about thirty times already, I'm getting close to painting the truck, leaning toward all black because my door inners and jambs are already black. But I like two tone, I also like white roofs. I have red interior so I'm a little limited. Red and white two tone would look good too. Of course I don't think the side stripe I like was commonly combined with a matching roof, usually it was the lower body that matched. Wish I could make up my damn mind!

Re: that copper and white dually with the white wheels, I am either going to paint mine white or more likely black, depending on the color I choose for the truck. I've got later model chrome centercaps and 16 inch stainless rings. I saw one once with black painted wheels, rings and pointy chrome lugnut caps that looked awesome. The trim rings make all the difference.

I've thought about doing that myself. I've seen it. I like it. Even black wheels with just the chrome center caps and no rings would look good too.

Or, you could do black wheels with the black late model centers...

I use the Duramax intercooler upside down also. It works great. I am also using a Duramax radiator.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

Now that looks good.

Was that a 1 ton converted to 1/2 suspension?? (Never mind - I'm NOW reading your thread "My Crew Cab Short Bed Project").
