AD chrome headlight bezel

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

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

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.

I have a '48 and '49, the '48 has stainless and the '49 has chrome plated.

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.
