Nice, Tim. Have you tried some rubbing compound on the headlights to clear them up? |

Thanks Jim. Yep I polish them once a year right before vehicle inspection time. They clean up pretty good. The truck is rarely driven, it gets 15 MPG towing and about 17 empty so I only use it when I need it. I haul trash to the dump in it and the occasional load of firewood and sacks of feed, etc... I had it done because it is too nice a truck to let it rust up. |

I found out about the headlights when my daughter bought an older Ford Escort. Wouldn't it be nice if they were made of something that could stand up to sunlight? |

Nice lookin rig you have there now Tim. 1000 bucks is a great price too. Hey Jim, you say rubbing compound will clear up the headlight plastic covers like the kits they sell??? |

Sure, any decent polish should. Seems to me I've heard of using toothpaste on them. |

Depends on how bd they are, some need some 600 then 1500 wet sanding first. |
