Can My Black Vent Windows Be Converted To Chrome - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I see where you can by the chrome pieces on eBay and elsewhere, but has anyone converted their vent windows this way?

My vent windows are black now, and I was wondering if I could change to chrome?

I have disassembled the wing windows, its kind of a lot of work to rivet it all back together properly.
For chrome you need the vertical piece, if you get that and the chrome vent window frame you could install it in what you have but its easier to just buy the whole assembly.

BTW, chrome is usually tinted glass and non-chrome is usually non-tinted glass, that's a general rule only.

Thanks Randy. I believe I need to start searching for the chrome vents.

Pop's, take a look at this, if you have more time than money, it might be a way to go.

Good luck, Rg
