Thanks 68stepbed. Knew it was something like that. Amazing how the quality of products has changed over time.

Looks like you went from a one piece window to wing vent windows? True? Reason? Am I wrong?

**RRR18** · 05-08-2012, 10:53 AM

Ha! Was waitin for someone to catch that. Second pic has the windows up and there is a reflection of my front yard oak tree in the perfect spot to make it look like there is vent window in there. Good eye though.

The new look gives it a more finished look. With the grille and bumper painted grey folks might ask, when are you going to finish the paint.

As far as the tint goes, tint the whole side glass or not at all. I drive an umarked G-ride all day and it's fine during the day, but at night window tint sucks (my opinion of course). The trucks looks great! Oh yeah, I like the black wheels better.

**RRR18** · 05-08-2012, 02:14 PM

Side windows are 1 piece. Side glass and back glass are tinted glass not film tint so that ain't changing.

That's how they were originally also. The only chrome steel trim on these trucks was the chrome bumpers.

Looks really good , although im not a huge fan of tint on Classic / Hot rod cars/trucks .

**425HP409** · 05-08-2012, 02:30 PM

I am in favor of the New Look, although if I hadn't seen it, I would have liked the original just fine.

packrat42 · 05-08-2012, 06:49 PM

Looks great either way but I like the white wheels better.

off to a good start i think

dbracin · 05-08-2012, 08:17 PM

Chrome grill and bumper look good. I think silver rims would look better. IMHO

DARIO1 · 05-08-2012, 08:26 PM

I wasn't sure but how do you like the one piece side windows? Some people say they are drafty going down the road, you know road noise but what truck isn't? My wheels are almost exactly like your black ones but I went for a different center cap, round with bowtie, all chrome. So of course I like the look of yours.

**RRR18** · 05-08-2012, 08:46 PM

All the way up the windows seal perfect...no wind noise. I like em a lot. Some people don't like em...say it takes away from the classic look of the truck. To each his own.

BP68 · 05-11-2012, 12:25 AM

Diggin the updates. What kind of outside mirrors are those and can you post a closer pic? I am trying to decide on mirrors and I have teh 1 piece windows also.

**RRR18** · 05-11-2012, 12:43 AM

I really like both, however with the new chrome the old pic looks boring in comparison. 0.02
