Wow! Looks amazing as is! But I understand wanting to change it up. Chrome bumpers and wheels will look awesome too.

Your truck is nice , I like the way it is. But I completely under the need to change it up. I think chrome bumpers and the right chrome rims would be nice

These are both mostly original paint with the chrome. Really brightens them up !

Here's my '64 with patina and old chrome. This is an older picture, but when it all goes back together for the last time, I will buff and polish all of the chrome and side trim. It won't look new, but it'll match up to the overall patina.

My project. It's got a homemade flat rear bumper that's white. I'd like to find a used 60-66, or a 67-up rear chrome for it.

Re: rusty trucks and shop trucks with chrome
 
Very kind of you, but WA is a longgggg way from ON. I'm just north of NY state. I really appreciate the offer, though! I'll keep it in mind, however, I do have buddies in Vancouver, BC, that go to WA every now and then. What does it look like? PM me, I suppose.
