Grille Mldgs & Headlight Bezels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need help! I've gone thru (2) pairs of headlight bezels for my 67 chevy truck, all of them are flimsy garbage. I cannot say a whole lot more about the upper and lower grille mldgs. Does anyone know if they make stainless trim instead of the cheap aluminum trim? If anyone can guide me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

I think I am going to use the steel trim that is painted white and get it chromed. It should last longer that way.

Thanks for the input Shawn, but who sells the white steel trim you are speaking of?

Your best bet is to steer clear of the alleged "cheapo" repop stuff and do some sleuthing for a nice set of original pieces. My original grill hoops and bezels are substantially sturdier than most of the repop crap I've seen around.

I don't know who sells it, but I do know that it comes on most of the work trucks that had white bumpers and white trim.
Look in your local j-yard.

I had some and got them powdercoated with the near chrome.
