Crap...I'm 46...I owned all that stuff...I can't believe they still make the striped knee-high tube socks...dang...I've got to get my Blazer finished before I'm too old to enjoy it.

Those of you who are old enough to remember....look at these photos...Jeez...that's crazy. I remember Fletch wearing those tube socks:

Chevy Chase in 1975, and Chevy Chase in 2011

good eye...


but I wasn't an Adidas fan really.... I was MUCH more a Nike leather hi-tops fan...

I miss those old pop tab cans:

And I am looking for one of these old antennae balls:

I'm becoming a sentimental old bastard...

NICE

I used to skate a lot as a kid too. All the way until I was 18 or 19. Although I was a different era. I'm from the double sided boards, alloy trucks, polyurethane wheels and bushings time frame, just after flip tricks became commonplace.

But... Back to topic...

White letters on white trucks/trucks with white in the two tone or white tops. Black for everything else.

See...RYOKEN even wears his NIKE's "black swoosh out"

I like the stock car look those wheels give cars.

Not very often us guys down in the states see one of those things either.

Whats in it?

i dig the white letters out on a white truck or a hotrod. i think the white letters give the illusion of a smaller tire? i don't know if its true but the black out tires "seem" to appear bigger. on my c10 i'm gonna have them flip the tires and put letters out.

 

[knottyrich]

aren't most us driving 80' era trucks! haha. i wanna go all "period" correct style. but its tough....anyone remeber the GIANT dick cepek catalogs!!

383 roller cam, about 400 horse, 3k stall, stage 2 shift kit
