Hello,
I have a 1996 Ram 1500 4x4 and I'm interested to know what is common practice for restoring ( aesthetically ) a brake booster, proportioning valve and 2 Wheel ABS valve? I already have all pre-bent stainless steel lines and all new performance caliper and rear brake hardware. The truck is black, accented with red.
I contacted Tuff-Stuff because I was just going to buy all brand new chrome stuff, but they don't make it for that application.
The truck is not like a complete frame off restoration, but it is a very decent restoration, so I'd like it to look _nice_.
Are there any companies out there who make chrome parts for these ? I don't mind paying, and I'd rather pay than do the work to clean up the old stuff. ( I just don't really have the time )
Do I just have to bite the bullet and cap off all the holes, and sandblast everything and paint it ? I'd probably just clear over the valves, but paint the booster red to offset it from the black truck.
Many Thanks !
