Since you want to preserve the paint, and its still in good condition, have you considered clear coat? Some color sanding to get rid of the oxidation and a few coats of clear would bring the paint back to like and protect it for the future. Clean looking truck by the way!
are those push bars really worth that much? I just made my own,but i have a tube bender so it was easy,im thinking of having it chromed also. NICE TRUCK.
I've seen them go from 200-350 recently.

I do have the chrome doors as well. I like the look of the black just as much. I'll be adding a black push bar soon so the black doors wont stand out as much. I think the black looks mean!
Awesome never seen one mount that way...and chrome to boot.
Looks like a awesome truck, pulling that chrome off just to buff it might be a bad idea, unless you are very very patient and you might have to get some new mount clips....
The chrome push bar look good on there. Better than I thought it would. I plan on replacing it with a black push bar. Swap them around when I get bored
I did find a short bed locally that the guy let me remove all of the race track trim for a good price. And yes it took me about two hours. I'll take my time if I end up pulling the trim from my truck and have some help.
Wow- nice find. Are you taking steps to preserve it underneath, now that it is in a higher-humidity climate?
Thanks for the compliment. Currently is at my office in the warehouse that has heat and a/c. Ill probably keep it in there. I really haven't decided how far I will go to preserve it.

Yes, I may have it color sanded and then cleared. I've never done it before but have had a lot of people recommend it. It has a few dent and dings from being 35 years old. Adds character I think.
