Re: 1959 Apache

I will look for that drain hole and see, I am sure it is plugged. The bottom of my pillars have rust, of course.

Re: 1959 Apache

I decided to pull the wheels off to be sandblasted an powdercoated. When I had these rims made for the truck I opted for chrome, not realizing that modern-day chrome and Canada don't mix. I tried my best to maintain them and they looked great for a few years, but time makes fools of us all.

I'd like to get them back in an antique or ivory white color. The goal is to have the wheels, grill, and headlight bezels all the same shade. If I can achieve this I will probably change the bumpers too.
