I love it, really thinking about finding cab trim for my truck-hard to find the GMC for low cost.

Rally wheels look like 8" wide, but extra deep trim??

What don't you like about the paint?

It looks to me like it's a two tone silver in different shades, is that correct? Not factory but looks great, something different.

I'm finishing up my '87 and hope to make a thread here soon about it so I can appreciate what it took to get your's to look like that.

It's a beauty! Take a close up of the trim for Philobeddoe

Yeah, yeah...i zoomed in on it. Truck looks great. Then again, its a cali truck...it never rains there, everyday is like 75 and sunny! Here in new england, acid water loves to sit and hide in body trim. Plus, less to deal with. I did go with the wheel arch trim though.

The point was to show you the difference in the 77 trim and what it's supposed to look like.

I know, i can still go all trim. Probably just my taste. Like when i did my 79 Z28, i opted out of all the factory stickers. In my experience, body trim, emblems and stickers usually ends up causing problems. Stickers crack chip and peel, trim work always holds water sand and gunk. NOT that any of it looks bad, in fact, it looks good. Gotta have the fender badges though.
