Karen,
Forget the chrome -- go with stainless steel! Tail lights, front emblem,
bumper, bed strips, tailgate chains, exhaust emblem, Deluxe window trim, fan
blades etc. (:>) You might have to get a second or third job to pay for it
but so what! You only live once.
Is your 53 a 5 window? Is the engine stock?
