NEW STEERING WHEEL

Replaced the old steering wheel and put a pretty nice one in. The old came off pretty easy, I did have to go get a steering wheel puller that I rented from Advanced Auto Parts for like 20 bucks. Got the old one off and then went to slap the new one on there and the damn bolt kept trying to cross thread onto the column. Went onto post where they have a garage for soldiers to work in, had to use a tap and dye to fix the threads . After I got all that it went right on!

HEAD LIGHT RESTORATION

When I bought the truck the Head light Bevels were painted black and didn't look good at all. I decided I was going to try to restore the chrome under the paint to the original look . I didn't have any idea on the condition of the chrome under the paint but I figured if it looked bad I could just RE paint them later. The Chrome wasn't as bad as I expected but new ones will be purchased at a later date in till then it looked pretty good, better than black anyways.
