73-79 headlight bezels - stock chrome?
Hey guys so I'm looking to start painting my 76 chevy the ochre/white two tone option from 73/74 trucks but I just saw a truck that appears to be completely stock (see here: http://m.ebay.com/itm/331427748642?_mwBanner=1) and the headlight bezel looks blacked out or darkened around the headlight bulb. I thought they were all chrome from the factory. Can anyone chime in on this? Thanks.
Btw if anyone has this color package please post some pix. I love this scheme and I'm converting my hawiaan blue to it. Thanks for your help!

Re: 73-79 headlight bezels - stock chrome?
The the recessed areas around the headlight openings were originally painted. But it's not uncommon for the factory paint to have worn/peeled off, leaving the chrome underneath exposed.
I believe the original paint colors for the 73-78 style headlight bezels were: 73-74 = black 75-76 = argent silver 77-78 = dark argent (metallic gray) |
