Tailgate hardware

OK guys. I'm back working on Josh's 79 F150 https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...s-79-f150.html . Anyway. My question today is tailgate hardware. The handle.......is it body color? Or was it chrome or galvanized, or what?

The Hinges and support bars. are they galvanized or plated of something? I am trying to do as close of a factory correct job as possible.

Thanks, Brad

Handle and hinges are originally galvanized.
