To Trim, or not to Trim
I know this is a personal preference option, but i just wanted some feedback if i should add trim to this 69 truck, or leave it with none. Also, should i put black lower trim like it would have had, or go with woodgrain.
Thanks for the input. David

I only like the trim if it is dividing different colors. Yours looks great the way it is

I'd leave it as is but if I were to trim it it would be lower only, in black.

Solid colors look great just like that. If I was going to trim it I would use the upper trim.JMO

I say no trim, I'm taking mine off...wanna see J/K - sick thoughts
Even dividing two colors, no trim - that's what clean contrasting pinstripes/graphics are for.

My most recent truck is orange too. I've hated it with a passion because I didn't put trim on it. I love all of the "jewelry" on these trucks.
When in doubt, trim it out!

The truck looks good as is, but it would be even better with trim!
Both upper and lower - black on bottom. Mike

I think if I were to keep my truck , I would put upper and lower trim on it too. Its a 67, but I like the look of the trim on a short box. I'll probably just sell it, and save the trim for the next one.

how bout putting on the trim and painting the black a different color maybe even the body color, that would break up the side a little bit with some nice shiny chrome, plus it wouldn't be the same black or woodgrain as everyone else.....or leave it like it is because it looks great without trim...or or or or?

I like these trucks with the lower black banded trim but in the case of solid colors I would leave it as it is...
