    Blackwalls for sure. I could go either way on the hubcaps.

  3. I'm a whitewall guy but on an "A" pickup I say black walls with caps.

    Got to go with this. With a disclaimer that there are 1000 of you guys out there that will prove me wrong, in my own tiny little world whitewalls equal 50s style hot Rod or Kustom, black walls equal an old car.
    Best of luck whichever way you go.

    You ask for opinions,,I'm gonna go against my own personal preference for whitewalls and suggest black wall tires on your pickup,,it just looks right! HRP

    It's funny how my tastes have changed over the years. I currently like the black tires, wheels and cap. In the sixties in my area the first thing yo needed was shiny chrome or mag wheels. I collected lots of beauty/trim rings to use with the poverty caps. Now I like the bland black look.

    I think your truck is screaming black walls without caps as it is now. If you get er painter, then black with caps. Some builds look great with white walls, but yours is saying black to me. Love the truck man!
