Has anyone ever tried to get the white part of these chromed? Anybody good a photoshop(editing) that could try it for me? I think this would look good on our 67/68's. Thanks in advance!

I painted mine black. I have a torch red truck and I think it looks awesome. John's grill looks great too.

Is there a set color for those pieces or does everyone just choose what goes best with their body color.
Reason I ask is I need paint my 68 this spring and didn't know what color they are supposed to be
thanks

I don't know mine was on there when I bought it from the PO. He told me he got it from LMC trucks in 2001.
There are some real nice trucks in here.
