What makes a square classy?

[Organism_ike]

We all know how easy it is to make a street or ghetto looking Square body C10, but I get tired of the same old huge rims and crappy flat paint jobs. For the 3rd gen C10 it may be taboo, but I've just always preferred a classic looking vehicle. So for my build, I'm going for clean and classy. My question to you guys is: what makes the C10 look classy? I like keeping the stock trim. Two tones are usually a little too "grandpa car" for me. Of course some rally wheels and chevy center caps. Anything specific you always love to see on a C10?

And yes, I understand these things can only get so "classy".

To me, i think that having full trim on the truck instead of ditching it is kinda classy. other then some weird crazy hood emblem or whatevrer lol

[frog210]

cheeta print, chop top are classy lol jk
a stock bench seat, a light tint, chrome front bumper, mirror, rear bumper...

I'd have to agree, I tried to go classy with my build too lol. I think stock with subtle mods makes for a classy truck, In my opinion anyways....
here's mine, I went for the old man truck look, but it's lowered and fast!

Suede headliner. Leather wrapped dash pad and a wood steering wheel and good tunes. A nice drop with wheels and paint with a good engine with a sound if attitude and you aren't classy you are class lol

pre drop

after the drop

Anything old school is classy imo. Keep it clean and simple; don't forget the shag carpet ! Lol

Pseudo-classy maybe but the trucks are old and very low on the totem pole for vehicles that should be returned to stock. besides why spend the money to look like it did 20+ years ago? conceptualize!

Telecasterjoey: The grandpa look isnt complete until you've got the camper though. Seriously though, you've got a clean ride.

Classy doesn't necessarily have to mean stock, but I do agree. Why have a truck like all the other ones out there? In my case I'm sticking close to stock, but solely for financial reasons. Junk yard trim and panels are much cheaper and quicker if you can find the right vehicle to salvage.

Thanks man! dunno if I could commit to the camper lol

[motornut]

lmao
clean and stock with very little "extras"
my grandpa look...
and then there's drive like one lol

[Firebirdjones]

I prefer a stock look, stock height, stock wheels, and prefer a 79 or older. Frankly I avoid vehicles that have been tinkered with in any way.

I've always felt they looked fine as is. If they were not appealing enough to the point that I felt I needed to change the appearance, then I probably wouldn't have bought the truck in the first place and went looking a different direction

IMO a stock or close to stock paint scheme & trim with a static drop and some wheels that "fit the truck" looks pretty good or "classy" or less ghetto LOL.... You see less and less of these trucks that still look close to original than ones that people have trashed out with bad body mods these days... I thought about completly changing mine at first but have decided to keep it close to original because thats why I like these trucks, the way they look stock with something mildly modified to make it yours! It's all just opinion though, some guys think they look classy chopped up & painted a wild color with huge wheels...not me.

On a 2WD truck, I like them stock height or lowered just a little...3-4". However, 4WDs are meant to be lifted.

[Organism_ike]

So how about colors? You guys like two tone, or metallic, etc? How about interior color scheme. For me, black carpets with different shading of dark and light grey is very clean. Blue is pretty classy too, with one of those stock-looking LMC vynil seat covers.

I normally wouldn't answer a thread like this because these questions are SO subjective (...beauty in the eye of the beholder, and all that). You'll get as many opinions as you have responses.

But - it looks like you may be new around here so I'll post my stuff, both by way of introduction and also to generate some thought starters. Here goes:

"Classy" by definition means somewhat subdued. To me that translates into "stock-ish": stock wheels, small mirrors, slight static drop, 1/2ton, shortbox.

I have always been a single color kind of guy (black or red) but some people prefer two tones.









I think it's classy when vintage iron is daily driven.

I like this one. Price doesn't quite suit me though.

.?

[cory d]

so it sounds like stockish in appearance, dropped a little (maybe one coil, drop shackles and remove a 1 or 2 short leafs), ralley wheels and no step bumpers. i say frick it, do what you want. if other dont like it. too bad, its not their truck

[Malo83]

Always liked the look of this truck, don't know whose it is but this how I would like to finish my 83, nice blue color, the stance is just right, nice tire wheel combo, just a beautiful truck

Keith Seymore: where did you get that spare tire rig? That's very classy indeed. On second thought, I bet I could bolt something together easy...

I made the one for the stepside.
