It was a faded paint driver that spent it's life in the garage. The ex girlfriend sold it because she wanted a MG. HA!
Anyway, the window trim was chrome on the inside as well as the outside. I guess the trim that I saw on the inside has always been painted. Was there a lot of this chrome, or is it more on the rare side?
P.S. No, the truck isn't for sale. I already tried that. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | chrome or stainless steel.......I had mine chrome but I thought they were stainless on the org..just not sure about it.....

If it's pitted with rust it's chrome. If not it's stainless.
