I just joined up here, my nameis jeff, and my trucks name(at least what my GF calls it) is Tonka.

I drive daily a 1990 Chevy C3500 dually(of course), no i dont want semi wheels. i like the ones i have thanks.

A few specifics....

Its the rarest color available, white, only about a billion made in this fine color that doesnt flake off.
The inside is red, looks ok.
its been lowered quite a bit.
it has a 350 and a th400.
Its not bagged.
its not heavily modified.
it has a very poorly installed rolled pan.
i have an awesome panasonic radio that hates cd's and a broken antenna cable.

onto the pictures.

Howdy Jeff. :mrgreen:

That white is probably a repaint; lots of white GM trucks happily peeled off their paint like a slut with a prom dress...

So many of the colors had trouble back then: white, silver, dark blue...

You sure you don't want semi's? And bags? And a bodydrop? And......... :mrgreen:

Just so y'all know, I told Jeff to stay away from here if he liked lowered dually's because he'd spend all his lunch money on his...

...then posted like 3 or 4 really sharp pics from the Random Duallys thread. :mrgreen: :twisted:

Black is good...I wouldn't go white; would be way too much like that 80's kinda-euro monochrome look that thankfully went out of style pretty quick. Bunch of BMW's and shit painted all white, yellow, whatever - including grille, wheels, bumpers, you name it. It trickled down into our car/truck culture a bit and that was a sad time. I think about the only acceptable version of that monochrome look is all BLACK...which never goes out of style. None of those monochrome guys back then had the balls to do it, though. :mrgreen:

White truck generally looks best with light gray or maybe even silver wheels. Flat black looks decent; did my '96 3500 repo truck like that for a while, with factory caps and rings.

Main thing though is your truck - do what you want with it, scru what anyone else thinks. :twisted:
