some of you guys knew about the road trip last easter for the yellow Cheyenne super , ive just been driving it and rounding up more parts , but in asking a few members on clearances and what not , I didn't want to lift it I have enough lift rigs , I stuck the eights and dog dishs on , let me know your thoughts next week ill change the front grill bumper and grill guard, also a sport bumper will go on rear

trkfrk · 10-04-2015, 07:11 PM

That looks great.. Love the big meats on a 4x4.

re1 · 10-04-2015, 07:32 PM

Looks Great !

I love that truck. Definitely my top color combo on these trucks. I am not 100% convinced that I like the dog dishes, and I can tell you with certainty that had I bought that truck, those would have been the first wheels and caps that I would have tried. I actually think its the trim on the truck that does it for me. The wheels/caps just don't feel right. It worries me, because those are the wheels and caps that I have ready to go on my Blazer CST.

Edit: the longer I look at it the more I like the wheels/caps.

well it rides nice and I have the stockers and you know mw I switch around , im going to take the grill guard off , replace the grill band and add some bumper gaurds , I picked up a patina rear sport bumper also thet will replace the rear , do you need some big sky country mud flaps , ill post more pics as it progresses , the truck is tight , and for the 72 yeer old that owned it he used it , but took care of it thanks for your thoughts , still looking for a ed hammer cowel tag to mate other one if you see one

**jocko** · 10-04-2015, 08:06 PM

Looks sharp either way. I'm a bit unlike the crowd when it comes to swb k10s - I prefer the stock skinnies, and in this truck, the PO1s just seem right to me. This was a top of the line truck when someone ordered it, and the PO1s were the top of the line, the only full wheel cover option. Having said that, other than the C10 I had in my late teens, I've always had PO3s. Love the classic white wheel + cap look. But for some reason, really liking the PO1s for this one. I didn't realize you bought this little gem - I remember it well when it came up for sale. Would've loved to - but timing wasn't right - very glad you got it. Ya can't really go wrong with either of the wheel options on this truck, looking great!

thanks for the kind words , I still have the full set of stock wheels and covers , ill change them around from time to time , just been having fun playing with it , I even have a set of 15x9 halibrands that I had on one of my old napco trucks might see how they bling some time

**72 tigger** · 10-04-2015, 09:30 PM

Love the dog dish/wide wheel look. Never been a fan of the PO1. Going to be a nice truck when you're done! Is the color what is known as "grapefruit"?

**Joesjunk** · 10-04-2015, 09:37 PM

Those look great! Love the color too

57taskforce · 10-04-2015, 09:43 PM

I really like it Kevin, that's a beautiful truck.

its just called light yellow , spid reads white/ lt yellow/white

Nitis · 10-04-2015, 09:59 PM

same yellow as mine I thinkn mine is called 525

I like the new stance really pops the swb.

I just had an idea I could chop mine and paint it like yours?

prolly not but I think crazy like that sometimes

REEDS 72 · 10-04-2015, 11:01 PM

Good looking truck Kevin nice to see you the other day take care.

HeavyD · 10-04-2015, 11:34 PM

I like the steels with small caps, especially white ones with your color combo. That is also referred to graprferukt iirc, and is interesting and different from everything else out there. Cant wait to see it with the bush bar removed a d new rear sport bumper, should look great

**special-K** · 10-05-2015, 08:22 AM

Can't go wrong with deep dish steelies.

Sicklajoie · 10-05-2015, 02:51 PM

Looks awesome!

**undertaker72** · 10-09-2015, 08:51 PM

so I removed the grill guard , grill and insert , installed and back to normal , tomorrow ill do the rear bumper I hope , took a couple pics , my k20 is a little higher

Nitis · 10-09-2015, 09:00 PM

Nice!

I love me a headache rack but that one needs a little contouring and I think you'll have a winner

well it saved some of the truck thru the years , but I imagine it will be leaving this also , just need to have a couple of the grand sons here for moral support if you know what I mean

bluek5 · 10-10-2015, 08:49 PM

Kevin,
How are you liking you new shoes? I put some 32 11.50 15's on my Blazer. I am not sure I like them, just a tad too big.

Yeah, the rings are off of GM 15" wheels they are a little narrower than original rally trim rings. I can't remember what they came off exactly. The wheels are some 15 x 8's that were black and too nice to re-paint just yet.

SpaceTruckin · 10-11-2015, 10:22 AM

hell yeah, I love those wide steelies on these
