Not my cup of tea. I'd let the trailer stand out.

Hey - thanks for the quick feedback on the vinyl graphics. Some like it, some do not. Keep the feedback coming.

Also, below is a picture of an F550 that Classy Chassis built for someone else and it has some vinyl graphics on it.

If you are in favor of some vinyl graphics, what are your thoughts on this example?

Pin striping

I agree. I would keep it Simple. BTW Jim, I'm planning on being in Gillette this weekend or next so if you need anything checked on let me know.

Jim
No graphics on truck the trailer has enuf . I would however put some pinstriping that colour matches the gold along the beltline of the truck.And maybe Jim on the driver door and Nancy on the passenger door(just an old trucker way of doing things)

IMHO those don't look bad but I would try and get some similar to what is on the trailer if possible. Simple graphics go a long way, personally I'm not a huge fan of names on the doors or rear window but that's just me.

You should swap over those 19.5" Alcoa's to the new truck, it would help fill in the huge fender holes and look nicer.

Hey the nerve - somebody saw your truck and copied it!


I'm still in favor of the pin striping, no names on the door, but initials look good on PU's.

Whatever you do - no 1970's lighted grab handles!

Addition of Billet grill, nice


Very nice truck - I would have them add Jimmy Jammer's if you could.

Duane,

Agreed on the grab handles. They had a good run. I left them off my order.

 

[jnbhobe]

Just the pin striping is fine since you change rigs so often. I like the graphics but they could create a conflict some where down the line.

 

[PSF513]

I'm not a graphics fan. The truck is gorgeous and the trailer needs to stand on its own. If you were like most of us and keep your trailer for a while, graphics like Keith Lindgren did on his truck that match the trailer might be good but I like the truck as it sits.

 

[boatto5er]

Yep - what Pete just said. Wait! Did I just agree with Pete?

 

[rick_debbie_gallant]

Tribal flames would look good coming off the side of the truck. ghost flames.

Attached is the latest round of F450 build pictures. Left to go is the vinyl decals I ended up going with.
