No trim.!     At least no chrome molding.   Never liked the stuff. 

Will you not even put on any wheelwell molding?
I ask because I see you have bigger tires too, like what I will have on my rebuild.
I'm torn as to what to do about protecting the wheelwell lips from what the tires will throw up.

I'm just curious as to what others are doing about this.

No Wheel well molding either.  I'm running naked.  My fenders are trimmed anyway for Clearence.  I have seen a protective clear film/ tape that Acts a protective barrier for door edges and such.  But that may not be heavy duty enough for wheel well applications.   Plus it woSuld be a pain to lay onto a curved surface?

Got the truck back yesterday for the second time.  I must say Im much happier this time around.   More of the blue I was looking for.  First thing I did when I got home was throw the swampers/ slot mags on.  It looks amazing.  Can't wait till Saturday to put everything else back on.
   I would love to share but I'm stuck at work all day and can't figure out how to post a couple pics I have on my iPhone.    That is possible, right?

Yea its possible. I found its easiest if you have the photobucket account, then you can upload to it, then just copy the tags from the photos and open new window to 73-87 and copy/paste back and forth. Its a little more difficult than on a computer but i do it all the time at work from my phone. Theres also a photobucket app that makes it way easier than using their mobile website. I recommended that route!

It's a little dark out, but here it is at home with the real tires/wheels

Now that is smokin hot lookin.

I really approve.

The blue is just the right color, and then you look at the white stripe and and it's a great contrast.

I like that color combination a lot.

That truck looks great.
Can't imagine any other rim that would look right on it.

     From what I can see from the pics, they did a great job of the two tone paint job, keeping a solid line between the blue and white.

It definitely looks a lot better with that darker shade of blue.

Hopefully I will finally have some time this weekend to finish putting things back on it and take a bunch of pics in good light...

Looks REAL sweet!  Blue/white like that is my favorite two tone on these trucks.
