    She has been sitting in storage since 2006, started and run regularly. Looking forward to returning her to her previous glory with a few updates and personalization. This truck belonged to a good friend that has had it since the late 80's early 90's.

    Thanks. For the wheels I washed with car wash soap, then used Mothers with a buffing pad on a cordless drill, just takes multiple applications and some patience.
