Wheel color
This is my '68 C20 Custom Camper
I am going with stock rims and these chrome caps, and no trim rings. What color would you paint the wheels? White, Argent, or Blue?

Re: Wheel color
I'd go with white. I see you have the later model center caps. Do those snap on around the lugs or do they thread onto the lugsnuts?

Re: Wheel color
Those thread on.
The stock wheels are on the way, then need to be painted. |

Re: Wheel color
I also think white would look best with that combination. Very nice looking truck!

Re: Wheel color
I'd do it white to color coordinate personally, but I think silver would look good too.

Re: Wheel color
I'm pretty sure I've read on here that silver was the factory color for 68 but white would look great as well, honestly I think it'd be hard to go wrong with either on such a nice truck.

Re: Wheel color
White would be my choice.

Re: Wheel color
Argent silver, the color the factory painted your Custom Camper wheels.

Re: Wheel color
Looks to me like you want a stock looking truck so paint the wheels in stock color. But you can't go wrong with any of those colors.

Re: Wheel color
Blue would make the chrome cap stick out, but argent has my vote, not a fan or white rims-they take the eye to the wheels imho

Re: Wheel color
Factory stock, you know where my heart is.
I do find it interesting that everybody else picked white. |

Re: Wheel color
What size tires were put on the 16.5x8.25 wheels on these 3/4 ton trucks in 1968?

Re: Wheel color
10 - 16.5. They were about 31" tall. A 9.50 could also be mounted. They were shorter

Re: Wheel color
I thought the 9.50 was taller/skinnier than the 10.
Oh, and I'd go with stock silver since the truck is so original looking. I like the white also, but if I had a 68 (like that one), I'd go with silver. And I don't believe it was argent - more of a grayish silver if I recall. Argent is Vette/Camaro rally silver (slight green tint) Last edited by jocko; 09-01-2015 at 09:20 PM. |

Re: Wheel color
That would definitely look good in silver.

Re: Wheel color
Painting the wheels and hubcaps is taking longer than I thought.
Extra sanding, rainy days, and my painter having to spend more time at his real job LOL. Getting close. Will post pics soon. |
