Yenko stripes

Fooling around this weekend, got tired of the only green theme and liked seeing other C10's with the old school Yenko stripes on them so I decided to spray some on mine.

No stencil, just fine line tape and some printed off ÝENKO' lettering off of the internet. A few hours later, voila' we have stripes. Let me know how you all like it

Re: Yenko stripes

when I read the title, I thought "that will look hideous" - so, of course, I had to look... Very pleasantly surprised - perfect vibe truck to put these on there and you did it very well, congrats, looks great!

Re: Yenko stripes

Thanks all of you, appreciate the comments

I was a little nervous but after pulling the tape off I knew it was the right choice, pretty good break up and balance. Still have more work to do, want to black out the square tailgate cove and CHEVROLET lettering, and the inner parts of the grill.

Re: Yenko stripes

The truck has a 6.0 LQ4 under the hood, stock but runs pretty good

Looks perfect.
What size tires are you running in the pics? 245/60 front & 275/60 rear? I love the stance.

Re: Yenko stripes

Very nice! I agree with Jocko, this truck has the right vibe for those stripes. I'M interested in seeing the treatment on the tailgate and grill now.
