What have you done to your truck today?
I have a vermillion red '93 that every few years I polish it out and wax it up. Sadly, it only stays brilliant for a couple weeks before it starts chalking up again.
Within a year it has resorted back to a very faded out red with a white wash look to it.
This is a common problem with red trucks in general and seems to be worse in locales with lots of sun.
Hope your polish job lasts longer than mine do.

I have two 1995 F150s.
One truck had an oil pressure gauge that died, the other had a temperature gauge that died.
Last month I came across a craigslist ad describing a backwoods 8th and 9th gen Ford truck junk yard. Took the 60 mile drive to the junkyard and rolled the dice on a instrument cluster for $40 bucks. This weekend transplanted the relevant parts and BOOM! I have a functioning temp gauge in one truck, and a functioning oil pressure gauge in the other. So happy.

Will do.
I feel like I broke my promise that I would have already moved back years ago, but instead life has kept me stuck here in SA. Nothing wrong with Texas, I've just always felt a sense of being "home" in my heart when I'm in NWFL.
Would love to stop and meet folks along the way on I-10, but I don't think time will allow for that.
