Old truck patina - can it be clear coated?

Prev owner started restoring it and then lost interest. He redid the interior also - I do like it a lot.

Give it a good scrubbing with comet and gray scotch bright pad. Rinse well and let dry. Then mask off the glass and trim and shoot some clear on it. We have done several at our shop in Dawsonville. PM me if you need more info.

I can’t tell you how many old cars&trucks we’ve bought over the years that were covered in pine sap and such. I know this works ^^^^^^^

We have scoured this thing pretty good. Just finished pressure washin' under the bed area. I think both tanks are full of varnish and sludge so those are getting.dropped and cleaned as soon as the dang rain lets up next week. Poppa Mike I'll def try the clear coat that way. Thx. (Before and after pressure.washing. This thing lived an easy life I think)

A Corvette steering wheel would really make that interior pop. Especially if you could find a tan one

Thx -always open to ideas! Any specific year to look for? And do they bolt in or would I need an adapter?

60s and 70s. Alot of peeps call them "Corvette" wheels but they came in other cars too. Buicks, Camaro etc. It requires a hub to bolt on and be able to use the horn

Great - about to start looking now.

I think this one is out of a Buick, beings it is color matched. That is a horn button that would be in a Camaro.

This one is a Corvette, beings it is black( to my understanding all Vette wheels were black)

This one is out of a Cutlass but has a Corvette horn button. Also, it's an inch or more smaller in diameter
