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
