Finished the custom side trim on my C10 today. I used some used OEM trim but modified the layout from what was used at the factory. There's more details in regard to the trim in my build thread.

Chevy never installed factory side trim on their step side beds, circa 1963 thru 1966 trucks. Even when they used side trim on the cab and front fenders, no trim on the bed? So, I figured I'd jump in where the factory left off.

The added white color on the rear fenders balances out the two tone paint. Kind of an homage to the Bel Air trim Chevy used on their factory Hot Rods.

So tell me, what do ya think?

Inspired to be different. Different in a way of my own, not in a way that others strive.

I like it! Did you take some of those photos from atop a flagpole?

I can explain it to you, I can't understand it for you.

HRJ, very clever idea. Looks perfect. Nice job. Nice patina. Someday I will have my 60 GMC back on the road.
