Re: rusty trucks and shop trucks with chrome
Wow! Looks amazing as is! But I understand wanting to change it up. Chrome bumpers and wheels will look awesome too.

Re: rusty trucks and shop trucks with chrome
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

Re: rusty trucks and shop trucks with chrome
These are both mostly original paint with the chrome. Really brightens them up !

Re: rusty trucks and shop trucks with chrome
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.

Re: rusty trucks and shop trucks with chrome
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.
