Black or Tan... What do you think? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

c10addict · 04-01-2009, 03:40 PM

So as many of you know I am building an Army themed 67 Stepper... I decided to blow a little sand color paint on a wheel/dogdish and think I like it... I am thinking if I go with this sand color painting the interior steel the same color... So what do you think?? Black or Tan wheels?

bw4sale · 04-01-2009, 05:39 PM

Oh man, I'm all about the tan on this one. That'll look killer.

dubdeuce80 · 04-01-2009, 05:44 PM

the tan definitely stands out...i can't decide they both look pretty sweet!

on another note, i remember you used to have 20" steelies, what were they from again? a dodge? i'd like to know the year/model if possible

PanelDeland · 04-01-2009, 06:15 PM

For an Army themed truck I say go sand!It fit's the theme well and it's something no one else will have done.(at least until they see yours.

Mayo · 04-01-2009, 06:18 PM

The tan looks awesome

Critter · 04-01-2009, 06:22 PM

The tan looks cool but I voted black because I think it goes better with the older Vietnam style green (aka Olive Drab). The tan is more middle east style camo. Just my $0.02

Grapdawg · 04-01-2009, 06:27 PM

Got to be the Tan for me, Fits the truck color!

Security guy · 04-01-2009, 07:52 PM

I vote tan, but what do you think about mixing them? A tan wheel with black hubcap, or black wheel with tan cap? Just thinking out loud.

cobrajet21 · 04-01-2009, 07:53 PM

tan man

big_al_71 · 04-01-2009, 07:59 PM

I voted black but of course I could be biass....

<<<<< see my truck?

tcb-1 · 04-01-2009, 08:04 PM

however...... since it's an Army themed truck, go with camo wheels!!

but if I had to chose, I'd rock the tan!

ratrod67 · 04-01-2009, 08:14 PM

Go with the tan..black is overdone

**70cst** · 04-01-2009, 09:27 PM

yes!!!

nvr_di · 04-01-2009, 10:10 PM

Also I voted black

*project 67 sub* · 04-01-2009, 11:43 PM

i voted black as well, but of course I could be biass too.... mine has black wheels and the sandy tan camo paint

thirdstreettito · 04-02-2009, 12:05 AM

Tan!

67ChevyRedneck · 04-02-2009, 12:08 AM

Tan with wide whites

LOW DOUGH · 04-02-2009, 12:58 AM

like the tan alot. it's diff. So, inside the cab would be the same color. Sounds cool. What about seats/doors/dash pad? Just woundering

I bought a bunch of old canvas army tents for the material... I am going to try and use them for the seats, door panels and dash pad and maybe even in place of the carpet...

The 20" steelies I had on it were from a 01 Ram... I can not run them with the step side so I went back to good old 15s...

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 04-02-2009, 08:27 AM

If I remember correctly, since I was in the Marines in the '70s, the wheel was the same color as the body. The Corps had '67 and '68 C/10 stepsides in both Olive Green and Battleship Gray. I had to qualify by taking a driving test in one of them to get my license for the CUCV. [Even though I already had my own orange stepside.] I remember the instructor Corporal yelling at me for "hotrodding" HIS truck, when I doubleclutched around a corner.

yes, wheels were the same color, as the rig...

I like them both,, but its your truck,, I guess the only issue is your mixing different periods of color.. olive drap is pre-desert storm,,, and tan is post,, mixing them may come off great, just dont know..

I love the idea of the canvas seat covers...

c10addict · 04-02-2009, 09:32 AM

Thanks guys!!! Votes are tight! Glad it wasn't just me that was on the fence... I am not super worried about it being period correct I just want it to look cool... After all they were not laying frame in the Army... Lol..
