Welcome to the list Karen,
Personally, I think a little chrome here and there would be just fine.
One thing to remember is, it is YOUR truck and you can restore it any way
you wish. When asking a question like this, you get many responses
reflecting many personal opinions. I personally like a little customizing
to any vehicle to make it reflect your personal taste, this is what makes
this hobby so dynamic in my opinion. Is is YOUR truck and do it the way you
want to do it.
