C/10 dreaming ....or mix and match. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C/10 King · 10-21-2011, 05:29 PM

Yesterday I got a really good deal on some Intro's, so this morning I placed them next to my 72' Super to see how they would look, well one thing let to another, so I had to take photos of the other trucks to see how they would look next to them. How about some opinions?

BTW- I think they look the best on semi retired "Gumby" (my 68') who is extremely filthy.

I vote for the 72. I'm a huge fan of stock appearing trucks dropped over big wheels

Definetly the 72.....

Sancho has his own thing going

Gumby is perfecto

Martinez is set

BB72CHEVKT · 10-21-2011, 05:52 PM

I like them on the 72 and Gumby.

**lolife99** · 10-21-2011, 06:09 PM

What about the blazer?
(I vote for the blue & white truck)

..honestly its something about our trucks that when you put some 20" plus wheels on, it just brings out all the trim and chrome more..IMO

Cole Trickle · 10-21-2011, 06:48 PM

67 or 72

I think gumby looks good the way it is but the suspension with those wheels will make it look the most custom since you can dump it.

**SOON2BLAZE** · 10-21-2011, 07:26 PM

Don't change Gumby!!! Less is so much more with that truck.

I put Gumby out to stud, he's staying the way he is.

I agree, it's the stance, the stance is wrong.

Pop's C-10 · 10-21-2011, 08:50 PM

Nice fleet & tha 72 would look killer on those..

**KevsClassics** · 10-21-2011, 09:29 PM

The 72 HANDS DOWN!
But Man Gumby needs to come out Hard with 22s all around

**too much stuff** · 10-21-2011, 10:29 PM

If you got a good deal on the wheels, i would sell them and enjoy the profit. I think your trucks look good without the oversize wheels.

72BlckButy · 10-22-2011, 08:24 AM

For me personally... the '72 all the way.

**special-K** · 10-22-2011, 10:04 AM

I'm old school and like your trucks as they are. If you must,put them on the blue and white one.

Andy4639 · 10-22-2011, 11:17 AM

I'm on the East coast so trends are little bit slow getting here and changing them is even slower so I would stick with what you have on all of them and sell the wheels.
All the trucks have the right look to me.

Andy, that's a excellent point you just brought up, it does take a while to get used to the changes, 6 years ago 20's did absolute nothing for me, I thought they where just to big and 17's where the way to go, Well later that year I bought a truck with 20's and replaced them with 17's, "lo and behold" it didn't have the same effect so I put the 20's back on, styles just change.

Thank for the input guys!

rjsdad · 10-22-2011, 12:49 PM

C/10 King, I love your trucks!!

Andy4639 · 10-22-2011, 01:10 PM

I like the bigger wheels just think the trucks you own look just right like they are.
It took me awhile to like the 17" I put on my truck several years ago.
I had 15" ralleys on it forever it seemed and it took me weeks before I didn't wonder if I screwed up.
Then I went to the 20" all around and love them. Never looked back since!

I totally agree. The 67-72 era trucks have the best styling of any truck on the road, hands down. When you drop them you bring them to a new level.
