Whats up with the red lower stripe? Don't think I have ever seen that color combination.
Agreed, thanks for your input.
Regarding the red lower stripe, a previous owner of this truck must've had it done, it's certainly not factory. I actually despised the look of it with the chrome wheels, had no idea that it would look kinda OK with black wheels.

You should consider painting the bed caps and rear window surround black to go with the wheels, I think it would tie the whole look together


I think the black wheels with chrome centers suit his truck pretty well with his color combo. Definitely an interesting an unusual one, but I think I like the uniqueness of his color combo.
Thanks for your input as well. Some good points here, after looking at other trucks' window surround I realized how faded mine is! lol
It definitely needs some paint, I think I'll hit it with some SEM Trim Black that I have left over, for a factory like finish (same as for the wiper arms).

I think the chrome center caps are fine. If you want to paint them, you could experiment with that red, perhaps.

Did my wiper arms and cowl not too long ago. Was a night and day improvement.

I got it off a buddy that used to be on here. It will take any 6 inch light. I don't think Hella makes a 6 inch but KC and PIAA does. It's a PIAA valance, good luck finding one. They are next to impossible to find. They don't make them anymore and when they did make them it wasn't for long
