No trucks came with actual chromed metal handles. Trucks that came with the chrome package from the factory came with plastic chrome covers glued over the factory black handles. There were a few aftermarket companies that made custom billet handles. No idea if they still make them but if I remember right they were very expensive.

A friend had the factory chrome covers on his 2012 f250. Fitment was really good and they didn't look bulky at all but after 4 years the chrome was pitting bad and they looked like crap so we took them off.

You can also look into billet door handles, but they get a bit more expensive.
I personally would like to get the Platinum handles from Ford, but I don't know the price.

Cowl ends are 9.00 on eBay for both sides, in the U.S.A. for quick shipping. Paint all the window trim and pillars glossy but the rest is fine matte black. Old thread I know but it’s for those people that just bought one that’s been well taken care of like I did. The only reason mine could use some black is because I washed it to death in 2 months time. Trying to get the pain shiny again and I did. The cowl ends in China are only 3.00 a set of 2

Chrome veneers over black plastic. No part of the handle is metal besides the internal mechanisms.
