Does anyone reproduce stainless windshield trim for 60-63 trucks?

Any opinion on bumper guards for my truck?

I didn’t see your post earlier. In response to your questions –

1960-63 windshield stainless is not currently being reproduced. Original trim in good condition is hard to find and relatively expensive. If you buy a used set, make sure it includes the small connector pieces or you may have an even harder time finding them by themselves. Also if you find a set – do a search on this site regarding best windshield gaskets. Some brands work fine while others are horrible.

Smoothing bumpers has been a customizing standard for decades, but personally I’ve always liked bumpers guards. Post #224 on the following links shows two different factory installation specs:

I like your steering wheel idea.

I'm pretty sure I saw a CL ad for the windshield trim a couple days ago here in portland.
Maybe the guy would be willing to ship it to you.

perhaps it is registered as a C20 and someone has converted it to 4 wheel dr or maybe it was just a slip on the writer's train of thought

From this distance it look really great, not much needed but some TLC.

That may just be a very clean truck....
I'd like to see some detailed pic's of it inside & out.
Quite unique, too.

What a spectacular looking truck. I love the color combination, the flawless execution, and the open stock wheels. This is how cool trucks looked back in the 60's. To me it looks perfect exactly as it sits.

If this had "california mirrors" and chrome wheels it would be a spitting image of my first...

You read my mind. Neither the tug nor the trailer are designed for that... Oh well, I guess it got there in one piece! ;)
