72 GMC 4x4 rebuild - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I went ahead and buffed and polished the truck today.....other then the burning thru the paint in some areas (leading edges) it came out looking great. I also installed the windshield wiper and rear view mirrors.

Notice the wet area under the truck. I installed a chrome plated pan on the turbo 350 trans..its is looking like the gasket isn't sealing to the chrome pan. Can the chrome on the flange be scuffed in order to get a better seal between the gasket and the pan? If it continues to be a problem I will install a plug in the factory pan and reuse it..
