Re: Help me with my color please!

Anyone ever seen these?

Made by Stockton Wheel

http://www.stocktonwheel.com/light_truck_wheels.php

59 Series - GM K-10 15x10 4x4 Rally with Factory Cap & Trim Ring

If you're like a lot of other Chevy/GM 4x4 enthusiasts who like the looks of their 15" OEM wheels but want to use a wider or larger tire, Stockton Wheel has the cure. Stockton Wheel can turn your 15" wheel into a 16" wheel OR widen your 15x8 wheel to a 16x10! You can even choose your own backside setting.

They can juice a 15 inch to a 16 inch. Anyone ever seen or done?

Re: Help me with my color please!

i voted for turquoise also, but i think the wheels really depend on do you want a original stocker or (considering you want to use a facory color) or more original with custom add on's such as wheels?

but you just gotta love turquoise.good luck!

Re: Help me with my color please!

You have probably seen these before, but since I can assume you will make a sensible choice and go with a factory color scheme and an OE wheel/cap set-up, these two sales lit shots are close comparisons.
I've stated my preference for turquoise before, but I have to say the red 63 below is sharp! ...hmmm.

Re: Help me with my color please!

Seems starting in 63, the 4WD no longer was produced with hubcaps. Wheels were black unless two tone paint. Reference page 2 of 1963 Chevrolet Truck Data book. Then again not many factory pictures of two tone 4WD's.













16" newer style rim in the front and 17" converted from 17.5" originals on the rear with the tallest skinny tire I could find.

Re: Help me with my color please!

Love all the information and literature aerotruck. So by this I am guessing that my 62 wheels could have caps, could be painted the body color and could even do trim rings if I chose. I am definitely looking to go more original but as you can tell by my color choices they are not exact and may not end up being just because of availably and also a little bit of personal taste but I really want to aim for the original feel the more I look into it.

Re: Help me with my color please!

I notice an original looking truck more now than a customized. It takes some talented people to take something original and make it look so good that it stands out from the originals.

Re: Help me with my color please!

I'm heavily partial to the turquoise. It is my truck's original color, and the color I will be painting it.
