Chrome Cowl - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DanoDMano · 05-03-2003, 01:41 AM

Anyone know where a guy can get his hands on a chrome cowl??

I think one would look cool, with the orange on my truck. Would I have to have one sent off to a chrome shop, or are they possibly available from someone here??

Thanks!!

chrome would blind you going down the road

Iron-Butt · 05-03-2003, 02:51 AM

it might look good. try it.

imaindianoutlaw · 05-03-2003, 09:04 AM

Do the whole truck!

72skytop · 05-03-2003, 09:24 AM

Yeah...I'm with Charles. Do the whole thing. Then we can put it on a blister pack and sell it as a HotWheels.

you mean something that looks like this??

DanoDMano · 05-03-2003, 09:00 PM

Okay you convinced me..... No chrome...

I chipped the paint real bad installing my new stock antenna, and am too lazy to paint it again, But I am going to.

Thanks for the advice!!

Thanks for coming to your senses. I know it is a shame that the paint got chipped and if you hand that piece to a body shop they will likely charge you for painting like they are GOLD plating(don't go there either!) it. I'm sorry I got a little smart about the blister pack and hot wheels and all. You have a good looking truck and keep restoring.

I had a chromed cowl on my now since departed truck . It stayed there for as few days. There wasnt any glare off it . remember it is in front of the widshield so you really wouldnt get any glare. Anyway if you guys ever want to see a sweet looking bed take a look at DanoDMano's. Ive never seen a steel bed floor so straight.

DanoDMano · 05-04-2003, 07:47 PM

Thanks for the compliment Mike!

With all the yard work going on I hope to keep it that way!!

like this?

i dont particularly care for the chrome cowl.. maybe if it was some kind of cover just over the holes but the whole piece is a bit too much similarly i dont care for the entire steps chromed the tops would look nice and maybe some tread material... chrome is great on a truck as long as it aint overdone

D-Money · 12-14-2003, 09:18 PM

There is something called "Too Much Chrome" I know it is kind of hard to believe but it can happen.

dinnut · 12-14-2003, 11:18 PM

i dont particularly care for the chrome cowl or step either. just posting a picture i had of it
