The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - 72 K5 wing windows and bright parts. Buy new or rechrome?

I took some light sanding paper to mine and knocked off the surface rust, then taped the rubber and glass off and hit them with black spray paint and they turned out looking great.

Mine were not the chrome framed ones if that matters.

With the poor fit of replacement parts I would be leary to buy replacement wing windows unless you got verification from a boardmember that the replacements are worth buying.
