VERY nice job! Looks fresh out of the showroom! Is that back bumper chrome or painted? If painted, what paint did you use? It looks very sharp and mine is in need of freshening up.

Re: Finally Done

Absolutely beautiful! Great job on your restoration! Your neighbor can get over it! Were the decals on your valve cover originally there, or did you add them to it?

The rear bumper was glass blasted then I used aluminum paint to finish.

Dieselwrencher
The valve cover decals were original so when I blasted the old paint off of them I put the identical ones back on.

The writing on the firewall came from the factory so I left it in place.

Thanks for the compliments it is appreciated, the truck is by no means perfect but things were done right to keep it as stock as possible.
