Here's my 85 Chevy K-10.  I just completed putting a new 350 and got new rims/tires.  The paint and everything else is original!

Looks nice.  I'd ditch the running boards though.

That is a very nice clean looking pickup.
Are you just gonna lay there and bleed or are you gonna cowboy up?

Here that!  They are next to come off.

I am debating whether to take off the retro cap too...it's functional so I am torn.

Cap doesnt look bad. Only thing Id do, if you use it, is paint it to match the truck.

yeah I'm not a fan of the look of the running boards but more importantly they start the cancer process big time. The cap if it's functional leave it on until you are sick of looking at it.

x2 on that. They are what caused the cancer on my pickup.

Running boards are off!  Way better...now the cap I am debating.  It is functional yet dated and not so pretty...
