Does anyone reproduce stainless windshield trim for 60-63 trucks?

Any opinion on bumper guards for my truck?

The billet dash and steering wheel will be replaced. I'd love to get one of those 1960's Chrysler Imperial square-type steering wheels but they're expensive.

I didn’t see your post earlier. In response to your questions –

1960-63 windshield stainless is not currently being reproduced. Original trim in good condition is hard to find and relatively expensive. If you buy a used set, make sure it includes the small connector pieces or you may have an even harder time finding them by themselves. Also if you find a set – do a search on this site regarding best windshield gaskets. Some brands work fine while others are horrible.

Smoothing bumpers has been a customizing standard for decades, but personally I’ve always liked bumpers guards. Post #224 on the following links shows two different factory installation specs:

I like your steering wheel idea.

I'm pretty sure I saw a CL ad for the windshield trim a couple days ago here in portland.
Maybe the guy would be willing to ship it to you.

What a spectacular looking truck. I love the color combination, the flawless execution, and the open stock wheels. This is how cool trucks looked back in the 60's. To me it looks perfect exactly as it sits.

Quite unique, too.

My 65 at work. Starting to sink in the mud--good thing for limited slip.
