He polished out all the factory trim. All the trim on the truck is the original brushed finished trim that he polished out to look more chrome than stainless.

how did he polish it? there have been a lot of folks on here speculate as to how to shine aluminum trim. i assume he used a wheel, but could you please tell me what compound? it would be much appreciated. thanks

He used a jewelers compound that came with a polishing wheel and some aluminum wheel polish with a wheel.

finally got around to lowering the rear of my truck a bit more. I originally had a 8 leaf pack and took 4 leafs out and put drop shackles. drove it like that for 2 years and a few weeks ago i put a 8 leaf pack back in took out the drop shackles for stockers. made my own flip kit and this is how it looks now

Kevin: The trucks look good. But, I think you need to update you signature. I think you are missing about 10 trucks or so, huh?
