Should Headlight Bezels Be Painted?

I know that like many things on our trucks, it's a matter of taste, but to be original or correct, should a 70 have the headlight bezels painted black or not, or was it an optional thing?

Thanks!

69 and 70 should be black, 71 and 72 polished aluminum.

Like stated they came painted, but I think they look pretty good unpainted.

Thanks!

I thought the later years were chrome. I thought I had some chrome ones around, but no - so they got a repaint.
