Green is one of those colors that waxes and wanes in and out of vogue.  Like teal - popular for awhile then not, only to become popular again, making periodic appearances.  But, that muted tone of the seamist green is an exception.  It has a classic appearance that will remain an eye catcher setting its own aesthetic tradition.  You did real good!  Kudos!

Zieg, that two-tone is another classic combination in its own right.

Thanks bd, and yeah that 2 tone is sharp.

Looking good! Are you putting the body trim back on?

No body trim, like that 2 tone. No front side marker or tail-lens trim either. Just all new wheel well trim only. Oh, and no tailgate trim. I know it looks good and all, but its too much to deal with, holds water and dirt, and doesn't help anything mechanically. If it were a car however, then by all means.

I hope at least one square owner out there agrees?

Keep all of your trim pieces. You will probably change your mind one day.

I agree. No trim on mine at all. The only manufacturer ID is the GMC on the tailgate

Same here, just chevrolet on the tailgate. I cant find "bonanza 10" fender emblems anywhere. I have the "bonanza 20" emblems, but not correct.

Slim pickins on ebay, if anybody sees or knows of bonanza 10 emblems, be sure to let me know, thanks.

I'm looking at new sill plates, as i need them, but do these threshold plates come factory, or just a fancy aftermarket accessory?

You hate the term bowtie but like the term squarebody? I don't think there's one right angle anywhere on your truck. Those sill plates are garbage and when they're installed the bowtie is under the seal. The plastic ones or blank stainless ones are better.

[philo_beddoe]

I think it was first the logo, that happened to resemble a bowtie. I need sill plates, but i would never add an accessory, although i do have an aftmkt license plate and a small drink holder on the hump. I was just inquiring about the "threshold plate".  That is, if thats what your saying is junk.

Nope, never liked the term bowtie. However, i dont mind squarebody. Go figure...

Some research, but it doesnt say when they started using the actual term "bowtie". But it does go way back.

Why do you need it?  Just wondering.  I personally like that heavy duty black anti-skid sticker you see on concrete stairs cut to fit to protect the rocker panels.
