No. They came off my truck but looked almost the same. I can now use the ones I got from you as cores for the next set assuming someone else wants some done.

nuke1 · 11-06-2008, 02:55 AM

you know that you could just send me those this way, in return i will send you mine that need replating, sound fair? on a nother note those are sweet......

72BlckButy · 11-06-2008, 09:19 AM

**DREW67** · 11-06-2008, 09:56 AM

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 11-06-2008, 10:32 AM

longhorn70gmc · 11-06-2008, 02:45 PM

Those are really nice. I am going to get a glove box done up soon.

chevydog66 · 11-06-2008, 04:01 PM

Ya, how much dough? yo. Looks good!!

kelsfine69 · 11-06-2008, 04:50 PM

I remeber when I had mine done, looked just like that. Its a beautiful sight. I had my whole grill done as well, Is that next?. Dont forget to send in all the screws as well, it really ads that finishing touch.

can SOMEONE tell me how much that would cost. ahaha.. I have a grill i want chromed.. Just tryin to find the average price on these badboys.

68Stepbed · 11-06-2008, 06:10 PM

Nice

I wish I'd had my grill bars and headlight bezels chromed. Of course, I still can

68Stepbed · 11-06-2008, 06:15 PM

Also, will someone please tell lyrikz how much it will cost for his before he's

hdflstf · 11-06-2008, 09:52 PM

Easy now.. Only 24 hours have passed.

I can get yours done for $170 per pair. I have a set of decent cores I can get done for trade at that price or send me yours. I'll be willing to do the trade thing until I get a junk set in return..

My guess on the grille is in the neighborhood of $400 or so. I'll check next time I visit the plater. Probably in a couple of weeks.

I also had the black plastic twin stick knobs electroplated. They look pretty cool too.

First picture sucks. I'll try to get something in the daylight tomorrow or on the weekend.

Momboy007 · 11-07-2008, 12:24 AM

Are those pieces chromed or do they just buff them out? for some reason, I thought they were stainless steel?????
Thanks,
Rick
