HoosierDaddy,

You may have just saved me some money! I just dropped my grill off at a re-chroming shop and the estimate was $400. Both of my bumpers need re-chromed too.....especially the back-middle, since the weight of the spare tire carrier rested on the middle of the middle (I'm not doing this on purpose!) bumper cracking it down.....the middle! I was going to have to get it welded, reinforced and then rechromed. I hadn't even considered the bumpers since I was in such a hurry to get the column out. I wonder if it has a back bumper too. I'll have to go back with measurements and see if they'll fit. I'm guessing it would be WAY cheaper to find a couple used bumpers then get mine rechromed.

As for the other items, I had considered the horns and the handles. The horns on that truck are just SO nice, but the mountings are very different and I don't want to leave holes in my very solid roof. The handles too won't work as mine have the locks and the fire trucks do not. However, if there are people who are looking for parts there are HUNDREDS of trucks in the Adelman's yard and most have horns, handles and various other parts!
