Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Yesterday I cleaned and painted the inside of one of my GMC hood turn signal buckets. I used silver "chrome" rattle can paint. I knew it would not look like chrome, but would be about the best reflective paint that I could use. It will certainly be brighter than it was from the factory.
Before and After shots.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Just made it back home from a 250mi one way trip to the other side of the state in the 66. I'll post pics and details in my build thread later tonight or tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I like the 6 ply rated tires. they hold 50 lbs of air pressure. And unlike radials you can run them until the tread is all gone and the cords are showing.
