AD chrome headlight bezel
Anyone got or know where I can get a chrome headlight bezel for my 49?

Re: AD chrome headlight bezel
I've seen stainless steel replacements on most of the repop truck parts sites, and used originals once in a while on CL.

It don't even matter if the chrome is faded, as long as they aren't damaged

Re: AD chrome headlight bezel
I'm pretty sure they were stainless originally, so you're probably only going to find stainless options out there - original or repop. Not 100% sure on this, though.

Re: AD chrome headlight bezel
I have a '48 and '49, the '48 has stainless and the '49 has chrome plated.

Re: AD chrome headlight bezel
The frenched headlight look with painted headlight rings.
With the right prep and primer I'd think you would be able to paint the stainless one as easily as the chrome one.
