Re: Lets see your D trucks

Have you thought about just blasting them and painting them shiny black? A lot cheaper than chrome. I think they would look great either black or body color. Stickman 207

Re: Lets see your D trucks

I just realized you were talking about the hubcaps, not wheels. In my experience with caps for my KB-3 dually, rechroming the caps was about $90.00 per cap. If you want the name of the shop I used, let me know. Stickman 207

George,
Since you look like your handy with the spray gun maybe you could try the Eastwood chrome paint kit. I have seen it used before and it looks just about as close to chrome as possible. Here's a link, http://search.eastwood.com/auto/Chrome%20Paint


48 international,
Your D-2 looks exceptionally straight! It's great that you know its history and continue to presereve it.

Hi Guys. Photo of my 39 D2. I completed a full frame off 4 year restoration last year. The truck has been in my family since 1950.
