Since your truck is tu-tone, you have the option of painting them either color. Red might be a little dark against black wall tires, are you running wide white walls? The option of going white, tho is IMO rather bland. Silver/Aluminum is NOT original..yuck...
please don't! Last edited by NumberDummy; Mar 19, 2007 at 01:21 PM.

I didn't know you had pics up then I think is is a toss up. Red would look good if you have hubcaps and white if you don't.

Oh funny story, gonna put hub caps on the front I think and go Comando in the rear, (gosh that sounds dirty). I love the look of the heavy Dana rear axle. There will be new pics on tonight, those pics just had a thin layer of white.

I'd say red, the silvers just gonna look wrong, white's not really going to look right either. I think you should reevaluate teh possibility of whitewalls.......
My 65 was originally white and the company that bought it did a black below the trimline, with black wheels and silver painted hubcaps. think that would have looked alright. I'm curious what black wheels with some nice aluminum hubcaps would look like on yours.

I'm going to paint my wheels white and my original wheels were painted body colour.
