73-87 with White Walls

[XtremeBowtie]

Thinking about putting white walls and chrome smoothies / chrome reverse wheels on my 86 after I get air ride on it. I have found a few pics but I figured you guys would have some.

Thanks!

I personally think the smoothies and white walls don't look right on these trucks......wrong era
but that is just my opinion, take it or leave it

[Mr.Scary]

Id like 2 at lease c a few pics if n e bodys got'em

[bigblock73]

wide whites+flat or satin paint= ok

I love wide whites on older trucks, but not sure about a square body. I guess I'd have to see it.

[ironroad9c1]

Vomitfest. Don't do it man, that is tacky as hell.

[bigblock73]

If done properly, it looks good IMO. For example, I don't think you can put them on a stock suspension truck with rust and diff colored body panels...it just wouldn't look right.

I've been contemplating wide whites for my suburban, already painted my rally's satin black. These are the only pics I have of square body trucks.

Does anyone know what these hubcaps are from???

[joe231]

Those caps are from an Astro van

Mine weren't wide whites but just a cheap white wall tire with rallys.

Here is my 87 with wide whites.
I am going to be bagging it next week or the following week after I finish a few customer's cars....

The thick whiteys wouldn't look right on this one but stock type would.

[BIG10]

I've got plain white walls for a stock look, not the wide ones. I guess they look alright on the rat rod style trucks. Coyote Customs, I'm really diggin' that truck.

[BIG10]

Sorry, here's a pic.

I've never seen that done to a 73-87. Those trucks look great. The one at stock height could stand to come down a few inches but overall that looks a whole heck of a lot better than I would have guessed.

[Mr.Scary]

ehhh not my thing

[jchav62]

I never thought wide whites would look good on a square body, but since I went with a satin paint on my truck, I've been kicking around the idea. Some of these trucks look pretty sick!

Photoshop anyone??

Man what a crack-up, you never know what you'll find on the Internet. This is a shot of my '79 somewhere in Kansas while I was driving cross-country during Americruise in Lincoln, Nebraska. I knew I was going to be on old Route 66 a lot so I might as well have whitewalls. The tourists on 66 flocked to the truck with cameras and didn't know it was as new as it is. Only 31-years old. There was a year cut-off of '72 down for Americruise, so I kind of did it to sneak in. Since this was taken I had to go to Toyos on 20s to clear the 14 and 13-inch Wilwood / CPP disc brake kit.

Wide white walls and smoothies in squarebodies make it look like a clown truck. Might as well paint Ringling Brothers Circus on the side

[blazer2007]

I like this one

Here's some photos I took this morning. I dismounted the whitewalls from the widened rallys, and stuck them on the 6-lug wheels for my '68 GMC blackwall side out. The white rusty devil is my big-block '75 Big10 short Fleet with stock rallys with some kind of big ugly K-mart tires. That's California rust by the way, those early squarebodies rusted like a champ even in CA. The Toyos on 20s on my '79 Big10 still make it look like a "clown truck" because of the dated billet wheels, I bought 10-years ago for my '88, but its my truck, so I can do whatever I want to it. — In fact, I think I'll go clown some fool with it right now.

Really? Do you have any pics of the new rolling stock?
