I'll have the time and money to get it back on the road next year, God willing.

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

Any opinion on bumper guards for my truck?

The billet dash and steering wheel will be replaced. I'd love to get one of those 1960's Chrysler Imperial square-type steering wheels but they're expensive.

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.
