Are OEM 69-71 interior door panel moldings chrome or stainless?
I had the missed-thought they're stainless, but I think they're chrome. Anyone know for sure? Thanks

Mine are rusting & some of the chrome pitted.
My vote is they are steel. |

I would think that they just chromed the steel molding . Would make more sense than two different metals for the same part

They are definitely chromed steel. Very little stainless steel was used in the auto industry in this era. These pieces rust
