I'm one of those guys that likes chrome, yet at the same time makes fun of myself for it. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

So, I figured when I was moving a bunch of shiny stuff I accumulated in my garage... why not put it all on the '76 K20?

I went from this:

To this:

Chrome Smittybilt tube bumper, chrome bar grille, chrome wheels, chrome headache rack, polished aluminum tool box, and awaiting a chrome rear bumper and bedrail caps.

My theory is... the shiny pieces detract attention from the rust. /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

Do I get an award for being pathetic? /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
 
ha ha yes, yes you do.
I'll give you three sunglass smilies and a thumbs up for your award.

Amazing isn't it. One westcoast rustbucket is a midwest treasure /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif
 
Sorry, that's not rust. I can go take a picture of my K5 that the ENTIRE bedside is held on by the windshield and the sealer between the inner wheelwell and the bed floor. That's right, the B-pillar is connected to the floor with structural CARPET.
 
i like the -classic- kinked hood. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gifto /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif (blue but not for long) /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
 
First you need to polish the chrome you have to where you can see your hair folicols in it and second.....add more chrome! /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Ha, it worked... the chrome has made you not notice it. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Ok, so the truck isn't the rustiest out there. But it does have natural floor air conditioning. My main point is that it's ugly.

But hey, it's an attention getter. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Maybe it's the chrome... maybe its the multi-colored scheme... or maybe it's just people staring at me when the fan blade hits the shroud. /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
