Looking good. Did you use paint or vinyl for the door handles?

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

It's gloss black paint,same as grill,grill moldings and front bumper..thanks

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

truck looks great!!! what size are your tires?

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

They are the 15x7 rallys,tire size I honestly couldn't tell you..they are just on there for the rollers while being painted..I'm going with a black 20" mesh style wheel when I get it back..just waiting to get it back to get the measurements for the back spacing

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

thanks...im lookin to put whitewalls on my 15x8 rallys like you have...the black 20s are gona look sick

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

Killer build like the shaved look myself. How come you didn't shave the tail lights? And where did you get your phantom grill and do you like how it fits and looks I want to buy one like that

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
 

thamks man!..I like the shaved look also,i just wanted to keep the handles and taillights factory..i bought the grill off amazon,surprisingly the grill fits awesome..

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build
