Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
You know, the more I see of the red letters on the tailgate, the more I love it! I wish I had something that awesome to drive when I was his age. He must feel like a million bucks cruising down the road in that thing.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
I promise I’ll quit posting pics soon. Anyway, I backed the cars out of the garage today to do some cleaning and thought I’d seize the photo opportunity.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Very nice finishing touch. The red would go well with the tailgate letters!

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Killer lighting makes for a pretty decent looking truck.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
I'm gonna vote for red, ...especially with the tailgate "Chevrolet" in red (which I think looks killer on the truck

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
We did the stripe in red. The boy loves it. I’m not convinced. I actually think it toned the truck down and made it pop less. It looks better in person than it does in the pics though.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
First off, that truck looks amazing. Regarding the red trim....as subtle as it may seem, the red 'pops' even with the hint of red from the calipers
