Was the contrasting color an option with side molding or was it the same color as the top of the cab ?

scottco · 03-24-2015, 10:19 PM

I know a guy that bought a 63 with all options brand new. It was solid white but he added red later.....

I am not sure on the paint code and trim option on these trucks as I am on the 67-72 trucks. I am sure there are some 60-66 guru's out there that could answer that question. I like the trim options that's one reason I am putting this one set of patina trim on.

Choices a used set of wide whites that I have already or buy new skinny white wall tires?

C50 C60 grille? Or Original aluminum grille? White c60 grille has awesome patina, white, black lettering and a little hint of green.

I know these mock ups are not the best, just trying to get a idea.

scottco · 03-25-2015, 09:08 PM

C60 gives it a distinct look... Stand out in a crowd for sure !!

Maddoxdb · 03-25-2015, 09:15 PM

I say skinny whites with current stance but if it's getting bagged the wides would look awesome!! I've alre stated my opinion on the grille.....

Would you leave the chevrolet lettering on the c60?

**Arrington01** · 03-25-2015, 10:01 PM

Maddoxdb, I was just waiting to see how long it would take for the grill comment, lol, on aluminum grill. If I did c60 grille I would move the chevrolet part down to the bow tie emblem and bolt it in. I think your right on wide whites, I have to get it down as far I want it to go to see which white walls to do. I order my front disc brake kit and spindles today. This weekend will be to get ready for that stuff. Get bags in and prep and ready for the rest of the parts.

scottco · 03-26-2015, 07:56 PM

What front disc brake set up do you prefer??

**Arrington01** · 03-28-2015, 06:11 PM

Disc brake kit showed today and my patina disc brake steel wheels showed up Thursday. Hopefully I can get some work done tonight.

Maddoxdb · 03-28-2015, 08:29 PM

Nice! Ready to see the new stance!!

n2billet · 03-30-2015, 07:18 AM

Very cool truck!

**Arrington01** · 03-30-2015, 07:40 AM

Thanks n2billet, hopefully it will be a good beater. Hopefully red one will be at goodguys in oct.

bj383ss · 03-30-2015, 07:58 AM

I vote for the c60 grille with the bowtie in it. Man I would love to find one of those down here somewhere.

Made some head way today. Drill off the bump stops and start installing plates and air bags. Plus new drop spindles and disc brakes!!

sambrutay · 04-02-2015, 11:21 AM

Well I have been working on 2 patina rides. I got the front rotors put back on wagon and bags done and its back down on the ground. Need to finish bagging the rear on this 60 parkwood wagon.

Ok, late last night got one bag installed, drop spindle and disc brake setup done on one side. Hopefully get the other side done this afternoon. Then stay up late and get started on bagging and c notching rear.
