1969 C10

Slow process of putting it back together.
If your truck will be parked near a dirty shedding tree I would. Yours is pampered in the garage, so personal preference

Yes, I know. Hahah. But they look cool and add a nice little flare to the cowel area. But yes, in my case it's more cosmetic than for the intended function.
Hahahahaha. It must be pampered.
 
The black one is going gray. But so is the stainless one. It was brushed, not polished.

I have no idea how I posted one picture twice..
 
I originally ordered the black one for my C10 because I wanted it to hide more than the stainless, due to the height of the truck making it easier to see. Now it seems to show just about as much, except that I look past it all of the time, instead of at it, so not a problem.
 
Usually you can remove the taped stuff with some heat. We have a little tool that is essentially a wire saw with a tough string that will cut thru the tape between the emblem and body. Then you have to use heat and adhesive remover to get the remnant off.
 
I'm not much of a 2wd guy, but this thing is cool. Not putting gaudy aftermarket wheels on it really helps.

Thanks, I like it as well. I like the stance but I do contemplate on bringing it back up to stock height. It was lowered by a previous owner.

You guys think painting just the Chevy bow tie on the hubcaps the same color green as the truck would look dumb?

Just something a little different but different isn't always good.

I would paint them blue since the bowtie on the hood is blue.
Definitely get rid of the yellow.


Even though yellow and blue make green!

I have the chrome with blue bow tie hub caps but they were so expensive I don't want to run them unless it's to a show.

But yeah, good idea about doing them blue. The yellow for sure clashes with the color scheme.

It’s just paint, I vote for giving it a try. If it doesn’t look right paint them blue. But I think the green would be cool.
