True, but they are still pretty common out west. I don't think I'm unique by rocking something that was popular as a youngin even if it's not so popular with today's generation. There's quite a few people on here with stuff on their trucks that I would consider out of style like fender flares, windshield visors, euro tail lights, or flat black everything, but the point is to make it your own and create your vision of what the truck should look like. To be honest the older I get, the more I appreciate more original looking trucks and like I said earlier, I'll probably go back to the original grill eventually. At least it's a simple bolt on and not grafted in ground effects lol

Thanks Martin!
no hubcaps, but these are stock rallies (repainted) with the original trim rings and centerposts on my 83:
They went on as a necessity after I cracked an aluminum rim. I'm glad it happened, they look way better.

I concur!
Stock wheels look better than 99% of aftermarket wheels.

This was my 84 K5:
Factory 16" wheels I welded Ruffstuff beadlocks on, painted the wheels & hubcaps black.

I think my '82 K25000 is the only truck I've owned that had 4 "correct" hub caps on it ,on stock steelies..most had aluminum mags of some kind,or stock rally wheels..
Oh wait...I forgot,my '71 GMC K1500 had hub caps,steel rims,so did the '71 K5 CST I had...(not sure if those were "correct" though)..

I forget how good our trucks look with factory steelies...
Something looks fishy to me 
I really like that actually.
It looks better than I thought it would.
You're just jealous, Dean.
