Trying to get all the shinny stuff shinny again. The moulding is polishing out pretty good but the bumper and grill need some work. I found some better door handles I'll get a new rear bumper this weekend since the one on there now is a big step bumper that sticks out 2 feet and weighs at least 100 lbs.

Yes it is amazing what a set of wheels and tires will do for the look of a car or truck. Those do look nice.

Hey Surfdaddy, what is the diameter of the hub caps you used, what year are they , and how many clips does it take to keep them on. I am thinking of using something simalar, (1955-1959 gmc caps on 15" rallyes with rectangular slot) budget minded but the hub cap must be very small diameter. I think 7" would be max......any help would be appreciated. Your truck looks nice. Kieth
