Mystery chrome trim. What is it? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 10-09-2015, 05:25 PM

Found laying loose in my 71. Whatever it's used for, it would be about the same width as a window. I think it's from a different truck. Nice piece of chrome.

Link if you "can't see it". May just be pick on Tony day: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/lx...=w1000-h750-no

I see nothing

**Stocker** · 10-09-2015, 07:02 PM

No wonder it's a mystery.... it's invisible!

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 10-09-2015, 07:47 PM

Seriously, you guys can't see the image? I'm looking right at it. Here's a link:

It looks like the corner of the vent window.

That was my first thought. But as far as I can tell, the vent window is just one piece of trim.

**Stocker** · 10-09-2015, 10:58 PM

I still don't see any pic, and the link takes me to a page to sign in to my Google account. I do not have a Google account.

It's all good though.... I think your question has been answered.

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 10-10-2015, 12:04 AM

Odd you can't see it. Maybe one of those I-phones or the like? Settings? Seriously anyone else not seeing it? Might be I should use another medium.

If it's a corner piece to a vent window, It's for these trucks. It's a corner piece, about 1.5/16" end to end.

See 27.45 in this EXCELLENT video. The trim for the 67-72 is a single piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgkZJ8vNRSo

EARNHARDT#3 · 10-10-2015, 08:33 AM

I could see it on my iPad but not on my iPhone.

NTIMID8R · 10-10-2015, 09:33 AM

I can't see it either. Maybe it IS a window

**Stocker** · 10-10-2015, 10:56 AM

I'm on my PC at home, running Firefox. No fancy ipod, ipad, iphone or any of that other modern stuff...

**michael bustamante** · 10-10-2015, 11:07 AM

x3, can't find anything like that on my K20

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 10-10-2015, 07:18 PM

Mystery trim, mystery picture. I'm using Google Chrome. Maybe Google has a bug. Off visor? Don't believe the originals came with chrome trim.

Believe I heard recently Internet Explorer was no to be no longer supported. Wonder if that's it?

tdangle · 10-11-2015, 09:58 AM

my 70 came with chrome on the visors. It looks like that is what it is

**special-K** · 10-11-2015, 11:24 AM

I just looked at a visor and those clips are just a straight piece folded over, as in crimped to the seam end.

I think it's a chromed rear fatbob fender off a teeny Harley Wide Glide. I don't think it is off of one of these trucks at all.

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 10-11-2015, 12:42 PM

I forgot about that clip on each end of the visor. Definitely not that. I think K nailed it, this is a fatbob fender off a Harley.
