Cool. when mines ready for paint I'm seriously considering moving from white to a brown called "brownstone metallic". Found on the 2014 and up silverados. It's a very pretty color.

Post by: FlatBlack77 on February 22, 2015, 04:39:02 pm
depends on how much wider and stickier of a tire you plan to run.

but a little less right foot would be the easiest solution ;)

You should get an account with an image hosting website. It lets you upload any image, no fuss, and then you get the URL for the image and put it into your replies on this forum by using the "insert image" button.

Photobucket is popular, but IMO it's become a PITA. http://tinypic.com/ is super simple but you don't get as much photo management. https://imageshack.us/ might be the best option. Then there's Flickr, but it's kind of the same deal as Photobucket.

But whatever you do, do NOT post pics on here that are hosted elsewhere, then delete them. :)

Post by: MannyDantyla on March 13, 2015, 09:50:26 am
I mean, if you're using Photobucket or Imageshack or whatever to upload the photos to your account on the image hosting website, and then you put those photos in this here thread on 78-87chevytrucks.com... then, years later, if you delete the photo from Photobucket or Imageshack or whatever, then the pictures here in this here thread will become "broken images" i.e. they'll show up like this: (http://asdf.com/asdfasdf/asdf.png) (depending on what browser you're using, you'll either see nothing or the broken image icon)

This is why, if you look back at the old build threads in Members Rides, like 1 out of 4 will have all broken images because the guy deleted them and didn't think about how that would effect sites (this this one here) that use those images.

Roll pan tucks right in to the body and is generall fibreglass. The sport bumper is a quick and easy way to clean up these trucks.
