Those are all real nice Tim. Too bad I don't have a huge building and a few buckets of spare cash for some like those.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II

Got it all covered and in balance with the yin yang.

I'll show pictures of my Suburban with it's new boots in a week or so. I'll have the second pair of wheels repainted by next week, the tires will also arrive next week, and so will the valve stems. I also got new shocks to put on while I'm at it. Not that the pictures will show that. I decided I liked the white wheels more than charcoal, since I've been running the wheel/tire set off my '72.

Did I show these pictures from fall in this thread yet? These are 8" wheels (and they rub). I repainted the 7" Accurides which don't rub, same size tire (285/75-16). The new tires will be BFG A/Ts.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II

Thanks. Maybe I made the right decision then . The whole idea with the wheels and caps is a retro look and that's how they were on the 73-87s. The charcoal idea was to go with the grille since the original scheme had too many colors going, white body, charcoal grille, black flares, and argent wheels. I also didn't want too much matchy matchy by painting the flares white or charcoal. This was the only change from stock is the wheels and they are what was stock with the hubcaps.

I may buy a '94 K2500 Suburban Silverado. That is also white with blue interior. Being a Silverado it has white flares. I'd keep the argent on those wheels. I won't repeat the steelie/caps look. I always wanted to do one of these 8-luggers with 7" D-hole steel wheels painted argent and use the stock center caps and beauty rings for a look that might look like a factory option...ish. Kind of like those 8-lug Ford steel wheels that came after the steelies. I was considering painting the wheels back to argent but decided white would look good with the white body

I did like the look of the Accurides/caps in argent on my '92 K3500. That truck was less busy with colors being solid green with black flares. Very traditional truck colors, and the argent wheels kept with the stock wheel color

Bigger difference than I expected going from the black wheels to white.

I painted mine black out of the gate & was happy. After pulling the caps off for the brake service & subsequent ABS related issues, I've been rolling around for several weeks w/them off & it had me considering a change to my standard dull-aluminum/silver before the caps go back on.

Seeing your color shift result has me leaning toward the change.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II

I like the silver since it belongs. Most subtle look. I really liked it on the '92. I kind of wished I did these wheels silver but like the white enough. Both trucks with white wheels is practical. I think I'll put together another set to do silver.

Silver is cool, but white makes them pop just a little bit more.

I considered both but I painted the wheels (car rally's) on my X-wifes S10 Blazer white to match the truck. They looked good but the fronts were dirty all the time + the heat/dust from the brakes changed the tone to bone color vs. fleet white.

When I use GM Rally wheels (truck or car), I paint them the dull aluminum color. My '99 has grey interior so I was leaning toward that & seeing Tim's truck reaffirms.
Lighter vs the black & see if I like them that way for a while.

I think they'll look mellow. No trim rings and caps is kind of Euro with silver, too

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II

I went with my usual silver on my current truck. Starting with the last 30 years or so that's been my main choice on all my trucks. I may change in the future but it doesn't seem likely.

Where did the shortbed go? I could have swore a page back or so, you had a brown/tan/gold shortbed! Maybe I'm just losing it!

You're not losing it bud. I sold the short bed.

This truck I bought from my neighbor. He bought it new 25 years ago and it is very low mileage original. I wanted this truck more than the shortbed.

A lot of my pictures on this board got nuked recently when I got a divorce from SmugMug who used to host my pictures and take money from me.

Haha, thanks for that moment of sanity Kevin!

I use flickr at the moment. Good for 1000 pics to an email account before they want their money.

Nice looking truck Kevin. What are the tire size, drop and truck specs?
