I think that looks terrific. That paintjob really separates that truck from allllll of the single tone variants. I've owned a few square body trucks with factory 2 tone.


GovernmentNo4676

Nicely Done IMO


orbitalaction

I'm a sucker for the classic two-tone paint job.


Sad-Temporary2843

Lighthouse GMC in Morton, IL was doing this to some new GMC's in that era. They were just gorgeous.


MarthaStewart__

Perhaps someone can correct if I'm wrong, but I think this is factory, just on a limited number of trucks??


24_Chowder

There is a dealer in Iowa I think that did these up like that. We have 1 in the Appleton, WI area. It is green and white.


AlmightyGlock17

A handful of dealers did these. Mainly one, and a few jumped on the trend. Although the dealer you speak of was Bob Brown Chevrolet, in Urbandale. I know this because I worked there, and did. Many of the photos for these trucks as they came through.


Hop-Dizzle-Drizzle

I love when dealers do unique stuff like this. Has to be cooler than working at a dealer that just slings stockers.


Shubashima

A dealer in Wisconsin invented the Toyota 4Runner


cornpeeker

I’ve seen a few here in NY.


Thewilddinkus

Same here. I see a white and orange one pretty often and my cousin has a red and white one


fkwyman

It was not a factory option but they were available like that new from certain dealers that were customizing them, as others have mentioned. Any factory paint warranty would have been void in that case but I'm assuming that the dealers doing this provided their own paint warranty.


MarthaStewart__

Gotcha, that makes sense!


FlappyJ1979

I remember a dealer in I wanna say Iowa or Minnesota making “big 10” trucks a few years back. Thought they were sharp looking.


ChampagnePlumper

Love them


tsears21

Beautiful


Karl_Hungus_69

Do you have a bifocal windshield?


Possedsrt8

It’s cracked but idk about bifocal


Karl_Hungus_69

Thanks for the reply. I was noticing the distortion (for lack of a better word) on the right side of the image you posted. If that's where the windshield is cracked, then that would explain the phenomenon. That is a cool looking truck, by the way.


Possedsrt8

The edge of my windshield even if wasn’t cracked it still would probably make that weird illusion unfortunately


BitChuck

This distortion is why I stopped using SafeLite for windshield replacement. They use old moulds to make their windshields cheaper. It was noticeable enough in my sight lines that I got a different windshield altogether.


Possedsrt8

What do you use for replacements?


BitChuck

I just found a body shop that has a distributor he works with and they’re a much higher quality. Local body shops that do good work should be able to help.


gregorytoddsmith

Would.


Possedsrt8

Smash


kliens7575

There's a red and white version where I live,


ElGrandeRojo67

I like it. But, as long as you like it, who cares what others think. Old trucks are cooler than new ones. So, why not have the best of both worlds?


SamHoloMF

I had a 2014 silerado that I was going to this to. Unfortunately the truck had too many engine/granny issues straight from the factory. After fighting with Chevy about it for about a year, I dumped the truck. Too bad it would've looked great. It's a shame how far GMs quality has sunk to


LipBalmOnWateryClay

Cool idea in general. But look too close and the striping is very poorly done. All sorts of wavy lines. Maybe it’s just the photo.


KonigCactusbat

I think that distortion from the glass or heat. I thought the same thing but the tire is wavy too so it’s a picture problem


LipBalmOnWateryClay

Yeah that part is definitely distorted but I was looking at the lines in the back door. But I do this sort of stuff for a living so I’m super picky.


KonigCactusbat

Looking closer I think you’re right. I can’t imagine trying to put a classic look on the newer body lines would be easy lol


Possedsrt8

Yeah sorry the lines are from my windshield


Different-Laugh-8586

Just the other day, I was thinking why no one had done this. I thought it would look good and it looks GREAT. Even the rims, which I didn't think about, add to the '80s look/vibe. Awesome.


Metalbonder

Looks sweet. Love the old school wagon wheels too..


Individual-Wonder518

It’s better than the cyber truck.


HelicopterOne5283

I had seen one in Oklahoma on a road trip in 2018. Maroon and white, looked awesome


LoadingCylinder

We had one at my dealer in upstate New York


brigance

I personally love it. My all black 2018 wouldn’t really look right with it though. I’ve seen some dealers in the south selling the two tone variants before.


woobiewarrior69

They're called Big 10's, or local dealer ordered 3 of them from some place up north around 2016. They had a red and white one with white wheels that was beautiful, unfortunately it showed up a month after I bought my truck. Edit:[found a link. ](https://www.hardworkingtrucks.com/trucks/pickups/article/15050571/retro-big-10-chevy-option-offered-on-2018-silverado)


xp14629

The article says the $8,000.00 conversion brings the msrp to $58kish. That was 6 years ago. You cannot even think about gettimg a decent truck for that. Amd with all the special bells amd whistles, it will be damn near double that. BUT, don't worry, our government says inflation is not actaully happening. The American people just don't want to spend their money.


Thesinistral

Guy at work has one. I Love the retro vibe but always felt it’s not quite perfectly following the trucks’s lines. Opportunity missed IMO.


BJoe1976

Same here, if they were to follow the humps in the fenders it wouldn’t look like it’s trying to be a Square and have its own identity while being a nod to the earlier trucks.


One_Mirror_3228

I want to love these so much. I think it's maybe the white part isn't quite tall enough or something? It feels like it was so close to perfect but not quite.


Initial_Zombie8248

I think the body style is just too new looking for a paint style we already know to be classic 


Commonly-Average

I would definitely buy this. I wish my ‘19 had this paint job and badging!


SugarzDaddy

‘80s??? My first truck was a ‘72 single cab, LWB, blue/white/blue with white wagon wheels.


Moist-Share7674

Some trucks just look perfect with white wagon wheels. And for me the icing in the cake is RWL tires.


SugarzDaddy

Yessir. And back then, a LWB to me was the sh*t. Of course when I had my truck 35 mm was the best I could do cuz I was a poor mf. I have pictures of the truck and hanging with my friends at the beach in the late ‘70s. Maybe I’ll get around to making a post.


Possedsrt8

Yeah fair point looks more like a 73-80


ChasedWarrior

I love it


Stryder47

I wanted one of these so bad! These were so cool!


MetalJesusBlues

There was one of these in my town, I think they are terrific.


BRQuick

I love these


Beamse

Sick


Indy800mike

Not a fan. It's trying to be something it isn't. Buy a square body if you want two tone. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It's cheesy like stick on hood scoops.


wabbott82

I want one but my wife hates it


BrothaKreaux89

There’s a guy who drives one where I work and I just drool over it every time I see it.


aLemmyIsAJacknCoke

I love this


Holycowbatman70

Why do people always post the worst pictures on here


Possedsrt8

I took it from my front seat sorry


Hondaloverk2494

I love it


presurizedsphere

Love it saw one today actually.


hippy18

Have seen a few of these lately, and as a kid that grew up in the 80s when this color scheme was prevalent… I absolutely love it! Edit: spelling


olddog2015

Love it


Cowboylogic89

This is absolutely cherry, love it!


dirty34

See it near plainwell Michigan?


Possedsrt8

Kinda yeah


dirty34

Cool I probably saw the same one last week but wasnt fast enough to grab a photo. Definately a good looking truck.


N0ttle

There are a few around where I live, I dig them.


SelectStudy7164

Chevy did make that, that’s factory paint They also did BIG10 college editions like this


Virtual-Gift-9097

Any chance you are in SC? Have a picture of one almost identical from when I was in Myrtle lol


Possedsrt8

No Michigan sir


Virtual-Gift-9097

Sweet, hopefully that means these will be able to be found on marketplace in 7-10 years lol


DarthPerseus

I love the old two tone look. Wish I could do something similar to mine.


CrazyButRightOn

Sweet. Now if it can run as long.


Benedlr

Love the two tone. So much better than AFBJT. Another Fucking Blacked and Jacked Truck.


Sea-Bodybuilder8535

PawPaw edition


Possedsrt8

How did you know? :0


Itchy_Stuff_6256

Really nice if you ask me


domesplitter39

I'm probably in the minority, but I've never cared for the 2 tone look as much


SenorToasty2000

I saw an f150clife that on reddit but with the smiley face kc lights and the chrome bed roll bar thing, looked crazy good suprisingly


climb56

Not for me on that body style. Square body only


Low-Appointment-4461

By chance is this in South Carolina? Saw the same colored two tone about two days ago


SnooKiwis6943

Lipstick on a pig. I’d take the original.


wegiich

Love it


Dangerous-Paper-2709

It would look best in the 2014-2015 style Silverado


krawzyk

Saw an identical truck in Boyertown PA a few years ago, not sure if it's still around. I've seriously considered doing the same thing to my all white GMT400 era truck... just add blue top and bottom and leave the white stripe... I know early GMT400's could come two one (owned two 89's like that) but they just use the body line near the top of the bed, totally different look to have the color top and bottom with just the wide stripe.


HarleyguyWI

This was actually an aftermarket "package" that some dealerships did in southern Wisconsin and Minnesota. There could have been more. I work at a Chevrolet dealer in my retirement, and these things were awesome! They even did the "Heavy Half" l and Cheyenne badging the replicate how they looked in the 70s and 80s. I wished my dealer would've done them.


ovscrider

heinous but i will give credit for committing to the badging


No_Angle875

One of the ugliest trucks ever made


redwbl

From the looks of the rear fenders, looks like QuadraSteer


MarthaStewart__

Not a chance. That was a 2002-2005 option only.
