need some opinons
on my 64 "Blue Bob". The wheels, should they be Wite Black or silver? the mirrors , they are off so I can piant them. Should they be White or silver? I have also thought of painting the mirror and the wheels silver but if I do will I need to paint the grille and front bumper to match? I will post some pics after the clean up it is amazing so far. The first pis is what we have to work with . The second pic show the progress to part of the door from the cleaning. I hope to get the cleaning done sometime soon and I'll post up the pics afterward

Re: need some opinons
Im diggin it. I think anything but white on the trim and mirrors would discount the originality. However, on the wheels medium grey, somewhere between silver and charcoal. Are the sides on the bed staying? A fresh coat of urethane on a big old wood flat bed would rock. Last point, I keep my 72 (original paint, 24years on cattle farm) looking good with Meguires cleaner wax. It brings a little shine back to the paint and keeps the naked spots from rusting.

Re: need some opinons
depending on if you want to keep a original look my grandpa had one it was all original it was mint green with white wheels and white mirrors and black bed so I would go with white for wheels and mirrors and white grille to me its different from a 1/2 ton so needs that old farm touch
