Yea, somehow scoring some sweet 67 caps got moved down to the 2nd best thing to happen to me today. I didn't think that was possible.

5150 · 06-27-2013, 05:05 PM

Thanks to Rus for selling me a set of 67 only dog dish caps. Also for Rus putting up with me as I talked his ear off. I pride myself at my job at reading people like a book and I could tell Rus needed to get to work, but I wouldn't shut up.

Haha I was about to ask you to just help out!

J/k bro, it was nice to catch up with you for a min!

BB72CHEVKT · 06-27-2013, 05:22 PM

Congrats on your promotion! More burb money!

cubber · 06-27-2013, 08:37 PM

Congratulations on your CENTER CAPS!!!!!! Oh, yeah, good job on the promotion, too! lol

5150 · 07-05-2013, 09:33 PM

okay, guys I've been buying lots of parts lately but haven't been posting them.

Here's a shot of the 67 caps that Rusbuilt sold me

Also, I went out to the Brothers Truck Show in Anaheim Hills last weekend and got a lot of ideas. The guys out there couldn't have been nicer and let me have an older California tag so I could put it on the front of the burb.

5150 · 07-05-2013, 09:36 PM

I've decided to go with a set of 15 inch steel wheels and I'm debating on the paint scheme. I would really like some HONEST opinions. Here's a pic of what I want to do, except with the 67 cap I'd like to paint my blue where the orange/red is. Tell me if you think that is stupid and I should paint the wheels blue, but leave the caps original.

cubber · 07-05-2013, 10:53 PM

I don't know how hard those caps are to find, if they are pretty tough, I'd probably leave them the way they are (especially since they have a patina already). I think they might look pretty cool as they are on some blue wheels. Is that the blue you are considering? Seems like the one your dash is painted in is a bit darker, but I could be wrong.

5150 · 07-05-2013, 11:02 PM

No Matt, you are right. Dino's truck is just an example. My blue is the original medium blue Chevy. Here, like Rene's (C10 King) truck:

cubber · 07-05-2013, 11:13 PM

Those are both REEEAAALL sharp trucks. I like the medium blue better, I think. You should take some and paint one of those rally wheels you got laying around, and just kinda lay that cap in the middle to give an idea. I think the orange-red circle will make a nice "pop" like the color on the Cheyenne badges on The King's truck.

nt30 · 07-05-2013, 11:15 PM

Don't post up that often but I am sure you could patina the caps with a matching blue and they would look nice.

Thats a good idea.

jb1016 · 07-06-2013, 09:34 PM

My vote would be to keep the caps original and use a bowtie that's close to the same shade of orangish-red. I'm assuming your going to use a 67/68 grille.

Yes, I will.

I just got done spraying these. Don't know if you can really tell anything. I'd throw it on the burb, but it's a 6 lug wheel. I'm going to hit the photoshop guys up and see if they can work their magic.

5150 · 07-05-2013, 11:16 PM

Ok Matt, you convinced me. I'll leave it alone. I have an old 6 lug wheel here at the house. I'll clean it up and spray it. That'll give me a better idea.

cubber · 07-05-2013, 11:24 PM

At least that way you could make a more informed decision. (Remember, I bought 3 sets of wheels before I settled on what I've got, lol....Tryin' to help you avoid trouble, my brother)

BrianV · 07-05-2013, 11:18 PM

Hey Bryan

Checked out your build thread the blurb looks awesome man I dig the caps. I really like the 15" wheel look.

Keep in touch man it was great to hang with you in Anaheim
Brian

5150 · 07-05-2013, 11:22 PM

Thanks Brian, I had a blast and loved the privilege of riding in your sweet truck. Keep me posted on your LS swap.

VA72C10 · 07-05-2013, 11:29 PM

I think it'll look really cool with the caps on the blue.
