Hey i gotta ask you...what do you think about my handels? I kinda like how you did yours. Think that would look all right on mine? It seems having the buckets chromed is almost too much chrome for it. I thought about taking the buckets off and getting them painted and just leaving my chrome handel on for now. What do you think?

Oh yeah, after those dirty pictures i gave her a good cleaning. I had that salt corrosion on alot of my chrome. The bed rails took some polishing as well as the tips. Stainless steel or not, they still get that crap on it. This picture is after i had it waxed...
