Ok hopefully I will be able to find what you are looking for.I also heard of a place about a hour or so from where I live that has mostly Ford Trucks of all years. If I can find it I will check there I need a rust free Bed.

I think they both are sponsors here. Look for their name in the sponsor column.

1979 Ford Truck Brochure
I have a fair amount of this chrome ....all that I wouldn't have any problem putting on my own truck.
Unless they are rich, a lot of people can piece whole set together if all the sellers are honest.

You can't really just polish...it'll still look pretty bad. I went through this when I did the resto job on my 77. First looked at it with the old chrome...it looked horrible. Then I tried piecing together good looking trim (100 bucks at junk yards)...still didn't look good for a resto. Then I decided to ask my local body shop to strip and refinish another set I had ($4-500). Looked pretty good I'd use it. I also bought a set from Dennis Carpenter (about $2600 total for both sides)...which looks really good as well. Now I just need to mount it. Just my 2 cents on my personal process. I saw that you're doing a resto job as well so I figured I'd let you know.
