It's amazing how much those cowl panels fade, I broke one over the winter getting ice out from around the wipers and had to replace both so it didn't look ridiculous.

damn! My trucks twin seperated at birth!

My god, even the tires! Do you got that truck still? I'm the 3rd owner for mine I believe, it originated from NH thats all I know

Yeah winter can be a damaging time of the year, wish I had a garage to protect my truck from ice.

I have a ?. How did you go about painting the chrome part of your grille surround? The part between the black mesh and headlights.

Gloss looks cheap, satin would have looked much cleaner.

looks great. I need to do the cowl as well as the bed caps. They make the whole truck look 20 years old.

At first I honestly didnt see that big of a difference in painted/non painted. Then I went out and looked at my truck. Wow what a difference. My cowl seems so faded now its almsot depressing to look at compared to yours. I need to go try this now.

Looks great
