Lets see your Trucks that are done with a Nostalgic look. Lets see some mags, whitewalls, finned valve covers, etc...

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...I think all our trucks are "NOSTALGIC" trucks.

72armyswbtruck · 10-22-2007, 04:21 AM

What no pictures, I thought someone would post some pics.

67ChevyRedneck · 10-22-2007, 08:03 AM

Close enough?

Premium72 · 10-22-2007, 09:44 AM

these trucks never had white walls on em,so that wouldnt be all that "nastalgic". white walls are for cruiser type pre 60s Cars , i hate white walls on these trucks. its horendious!

CG · 10-22-2007, 10:15 AM

They could come with the thinner white walls. I used to agree with you on the use of wide whites. But there have been a few Ive seen lately with the wide whites that looked pretty good.

rustSpot · 10-22-2007, 12:17 PM

I agree. Ive seen some 67-72s with wide whites that looked great....

AH619 · 10-22-2007, 12:51 PM

I THINK NOSTALGICLY? SPEAKING,FOR ME ANYWAY WAS MAG WHEELS/WIDE WHITE LETTER TIRES.NOT THE RUBBER BANDS THAT ARE SO POPULAR TODAY.THEY LOOK GOOD BUT FOR ME THERE NOT OLD SCHOOL.

ratrod67 · 10-22-2007, 05:17 PM

Here's a couple pics of my 67. It's a love it or hate it kinda thing. I have people tell me they like it and others who tell me it looks like ass. Dosen't matter to me. I like it. Will be even better when it's finally bagged.

Bob 68327 · 10-22-2007, 05:32 PM

I don't know if it's nostaglic but here 's mine

mkundo · 10-22-2007, 06:33 PM

I was thinking more on the line of photos from '67-'73. What they were building (driving) at that time?

jott_06 · 10-22-2007, 07:03 PM

Sorry if i worded this wrong. It's just when i think of nostalgic i think of something that has some hotrod flair. And when i think of hotrods white walls automatically come to mind.

I'm in the "it looks like ass" crowd.

So, just park it out front with the keys, title, and signed bill of sale in the glove box, and I'll be happy to come by and "dispose" of it for you. No need to thank me, I'm just that nice!!!

67_C-30 · 10-22-2007, 07:53 PM

How 'bout these?

jott_06 · 10-25-2007, 10:20 PM

Those are some good looking trucks guys. Thanks for the pictures.

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 10-26-2007, 03:09 AM

Just a few big whites, some are ratty and some .... are just plain kool.

There all kool!

esll.

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 10-26-2007, 03:20 AM

Did you say how about some more? Here are a few more from the photo album.

esll.

Forgive me for the Ford pic (living low) but it's a cool truck .... I hope some of you will agree.

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 10-26-2007, 03:45 AM

The End!

esll.

67_C-30 · 10-26-2007, 08:08 AM

This is how I'd like to do my C-50 wrecker one day!

**special-K** · 10-26-2007, 08:42 AM

We can do it how we like.But,when it comes to nostalgia with 67-72s you need to be from that era.These things just ain`t`50s nostalgic.The whole thing with being nostalgic is about being period-correct.It`s use what they had up to that point and/or what they were currently doing.Maybe 5 years ahead,like later in the`70s.There were guy`s lost in the`50s in the`70s,but they were "out of it",so to speak

.They were more "trucker-style" guys out there doing trucks than greasers,though.There were the hot 1/2 tons where they were low and had nice wheels.And,there were 3/4 tons that were outfitted for a purpose and dressed up a bit.There was always the snazzed-up 1 ton wreckers and all,too.Basically,it`s Chrome Reverse,Torque Thrusts,Cragars,Keystones,Chrome and Aluminum slots,and finned aluminum wheels...later Rallyes.Tires would be wide ovals,usually with white letters,tonneaus,dual pipes or side pipes,lowered some,bed rails(and more tacky,like grab handles),and they had tube grills.
Here`s my`71 CustomCamper/20 cruising "sans camper".It`s got the aluminum slots,wide on back for hauling(& good looks).The white tonneau looks good with the paint.But,it`s job is to protect the wood floor when camper is removed.Headers,duals,cam,intake...mild perfoemance to enhance hauling ability(and it`s a hot rod off-duty)...

With camper it`s nostalgic since the camper is original to the truck and original graphics painted ochre to match...

**special-K** · 10-26-2007, 08:55 AM

Here was my rig from before the CustomCamper.It had the top since back when it was new and I went for aluminum slots instead of what was out in the`80s.You could still get them until the late`80s.But,I wanted the stance and overall look to look like it could be 1973...

When I did the Blazer I went with chrome spokes and tire size/stance that would go back to the era...

This truck here is all `70s.I used the unpopular white spokes just to help it look "as is" from the`70s and to show they can look good enough in the right place...

**special-K** · 10-26-2007, 09:00 AM

I think full wheelcovers look like crap w/o the whitewalls.I like this bone stock look.Definately nostalgic...

Nostalgic push rig...
