You don't need chrome, I think our trucks look way better with ol' school paint anyway. Check out your local salvage yards or ebay. Or just use your stock stuff, get some powdercoat, and a crappy oven, and do your own customizing...

I have a chrome set of valecovers circa 1973 that you could use if you want them. I just don't have the motivation to clean them up.
